Abstract
1 Nowadays there aren't many scholars left who think the jolly book—the funny, comic, humorous book—should be eliminated from the environment of Soviet children. Ten years ago or so, certain theoreticians actually asserted in all seriousness that no readers were to be found for humorous children's books in the Soviet Union, that such books really were outdated, since the new structure of children's lives supposedly excluded reading books for fun. Such critics admitted only a kind of gentle humor in children's books that could be readily combined with contemporary political themes. Other pedagogues, on the other hand, were quite insistent about raising the question of the jolly book for children and even attempted to determine what was appropriate in this kind of children's literature for different age groups.
