Black Fox diary Mickey summary. Silver Age Children's Literature


  About Zina, about food, about a cow, etc.

My hostess Zina looks more like a fox than a girl: she squeals, jumps, catches the ball (she doesn’t know how to do it with her mouth) and chews sugar, just like a dog. All I think - if she has a tail? She always walks in her girlfriends; and in the bathroom does not let me - so I would have peeped.

Yesterday she boasted: you see, Mickey, how many notebooks I have. Arithmetic - dictation - essays ... But you, the cutsik unfortunate, do not know how to speak, read or write.

Woof! I can think - and this is the most important thing. What is better: thinking fox or talking parrot? Yeah!

To write ... Laugh, laugh (I hate it when people laugh!) - I also learned to write.

True, my toes are not bent, because I am not a man or a monkey. But I take the pencil in my mouth, step on the notebook with my paw, so that it does not fidget, and I write.

At first the letters looked like crushed earthworms. But the Foxes are much more studious than girls. Now I write no worse than Zina. Just do not know how to sharpen pencils. When I get bogged down, I run quietly into the office and drag a little bit honed people from the table.

* * *
  I put three stars. I have seen in children's books: when a person makes a jump to a new thought, he puts three asterisks ...

What is most important in life? Food. Needless to pretend! We have a house full of people. They talk, read, cry, laugh, and then sit down to eat. They eat in the morning, eat in the afternoon, eat in the evening. And Zina eats even at night: she hides biscuits and chocolates under the pillow and slowly slurps.

How much they eat! How long do they eat! How often they eat. And they also say that I am a glutton ...

They will put a bone from a calf cutlet (they will eat the cutlet themselves!), Pour half a plate of milk, and that's all.

Do I pester, do I still ask, like Zina and other children? Am I eating sweet - a paste, which is called kissel, or liquid muck made from prunes and raisins, or cold horror, which they call ice cream? I am more delicate than all dogs, because I am purebred Fox. Gnaw a bone, eat, carefully taking from the hands of Zina, biscuit, and all.

But they ... Why are these soups? Isn't pure water more delicious?

Why are these peas, carrots, celery and other nastiness with which they spoil the roast?

Why brew and fry at all?

I recently tried a piece of raw meat (I fell on the floor in the kitchen - I had every right to eat it!) ... I assure you, it was much tastier than all those meatballs sizzling in a frying pan ...

And how good it would be if they hadn't cooked and roasted! If there were no cooks, they do not know how to handle decent dogs at all. If everyone eats on the floor without dishes, it would be more fun for me. And then you always sit under the table, among other people's legs. Push, step on the paws. Just think how fun it is! ..

Or even better: they would eat on the grass in front of the house. Each raw patty. And after dinner, everyone would flounder and squeal like Zina with me ... Gav-gav!

They call me a glutton (drank a sip of milk from a cat's saucer, think about it) ...

And themselves ... After the soup, after the roast, after the compote, after the cheese - they still drink multi-colored things: red - wine, yellow - beer, black - coffee ... Why? I yawn under the table to tears, I used to hang around people, and they all sit, sit, sit ... Woof! And everyone says, they say, they say, exactly every gramophone in his stomach was brought.

* * *
  Three stars.

New thought. Our cow is a fool. Why does she give so much milk? She has one son - a calf, and she feeds the whole house. And in order to give so much milk, she eats all day, eats her own grass, it's even pitiful to watch. I could not stand it. Why the horse does not give so much milk? Why does a cat feed its kittens and doesn't care about anyone else?

Does a parrot talk to that thought?

And further. Why do chickens carry so many eggs? It's horrible. They never have fun, they walk like sleepy flies, they have completely forgotten how to fly, they don’t sing like other birds ... It's all because of these unfortunate eggs.

I do not like eggs. Zina - too. If I could explain to the chickens, I would advise them not to carry so many eggs.

It’s good to be a fox after all: I don’t eat soup, I don’t play this damned music, which Zina runs on with her fingers, don’t give milk and the like, as Zinin says.

Fuck Pencil cracked. It is necessary to write more carefully, - the office is locked, and there all the pencils are.

Next time I will write dog poems - it interests me very much.

Fox Mickey,
the first dog, able to write.

Poems, kittens and fleas

Adults always read about themselves. Boring people are these adults, like old dogs. And Zina reads aloud, sings and all the time she spins, slaps her knee and shows me the tongue. Of course, so fun. I'm lying on the rug, listening and catching fleas. This is very pleasant while reading.

And so I noticed that there are such things that Zina reads in a very special way: exactly chops chops. He will take a breather, snap his tongue and shake again. And at the end of each line - my ear is thin - pieces resembling each other sound: “children are father, nets are dead” ... These are verses.

Yesterday I lay under the sofa all day, I even lost weight. All wanted to write one such thing. Invented - and terribly proud.

On the veranda wild wind
  Drives the leaves all the faster.
  I'm a funny foxy mickey
  The smartest of animals!

Wonderful! He wrote and was so worried that he could not even eat dinner. Think about it! These are the world's first dog poems, and yet I did not study either in the gymnasium or in the “workshop of poets” ... Will our cook compose such poems? But she is forty-three years old, and I am only two. Woof! This nubby Zina does not even suspect who lives in her house ... She swaddled me a napkin, buried her knees and made me a manicure with a suede lapping. Shut up and sigh. Did a girl come up with something worthwhile?

And so, lying down, I tried to read my verses to myself in reverse. Tyav! Maybe it will be like that again? ..

Wild wind veranda by
  Quickly all the leaves drives ...
  Mickey Fox I'm Funny
  The beasts of the smartest most ...

Oh no no no! What is it?

Kittens! Tell me please! .. Their mother is a crafty creature, disappears in the park for the whole day: shmyg - and no, like a mosquito in the Christmas tree. And I have to play with her children ... One licks my nose. I also licked it, although for some reason my teeth suddenly clicked ... Another sucks my ear. Mother I him, or what? The third one climbs onto my back and scratches like that, as if they were scraping me with a float. Rr-rr! Hush, Mickey, hush ... Zina laughs and chokes: you, their cousin, says.

I'm not mad! Why should they lick, suck and scratch somebody ... But why does this girl laugh?

Oh, how strange, how strange! Today, the shameless cat has returned, finally, to its children. And, you know, when they threw me and climbed everything under their mother, I looked out from under the tablecloth, shook my whole skin with envy and sobbed nervously. I will certainly write a poem about it.

Gone to the alley. I do not want to play with kittens anymore! They did not appreciate my heart. I don't want to play with Zina anymore! She smeared my nose with lipstick ...

I will become a wild fox, I will live on a chestnut tree and catch pigeons. Yy yy

* * *
  I saw a scratched picture on a gramophone record: Fox was sitting in front of the pipe, he bent his head to the side, hung his ear and listened. Nonsense! No decent fox will listen to this wheezing, crazy car. If I were Zinin's father, I'd rather have a cow in the living room. She, too, mumbles and roars, and it is more convenient to milk her at home than to run to her in the barn. Weird people…

I made peace with Zina: she rolled a toy bowling ball on the parquet, and I caught it at full speed ... Oh, how I love everything round, everything that rolls, everything that you can catch! ..

But the girl ... will always be a girl. I sat down on the floor and yawned: “How can you, Mickey, not get tired of doing the same thing a hundred times?”

Yes? She has a doll and books, and friends, her dad smokes, plays some stupid cards and reads newspapers, her mother always dresses and undresses ... And I only have my ball - and they still reproach me!

I hate fleas. No-wi-ju. They could have seemed to bite the cook (I feel sorry for Zina), because they don’t bite me for a whole day, as if I’m sugar ... Even with the kittens, everyone jumped at me. Okay! I will go to the front, I will lie on a rough rug with my back downwards and rub them so that they faint. Woof woof woof!

Flooded the fireplace. I look at the fire. And what is fire - nobody knows.

Fox Mickey, dog poet,
smarter than that in the world there is ...

About the book “Mickey Fox Diary” Sasha Cherny

On the pages of Fox Diary Mickey, a dog is not just becoming a man’s best friend, but also a completely self-sufficient character. Sasha Cherny suggested that dogs cannot speak, but they can think and even write. So, the main character of the story describes his life for himself, holding pencils with his teeth and trying to bring out even lines of beeches, as his mistress does.

The book is not for nothing called "The Diary of Fox Mickey." This is a story about how a good-natured and incredibly intelligent dog of the Fox Terrier breed, tells its own story about life and reflects on many questions that even people rarely ask. The narrative from the face of the animal attracts the originality and original syllable. The writer Sasha Cherny, as always, puts into the works a lot of irony, humor and good mood, charging him the reader for the whole day.

The story begins with a short introductory chapter entitled “About Zina, about food, about a cow, etc.”. In it, the key character of the book, Mickey's dog, introduces the reader to his family and the main owner, the little girl Zina. She "looks more like a fox than a girl: she squeals, jumps, catches the ball (she doesn’t know how to do it with her mouth) and chews sugar, just like a dog." It is here that Mickey claims to be able to think, and that it is much better than some kind of talking parrot. Moreover, he is able to read a little (he learned this by examining children's books with large letters) and writing.

The Mickey's Fox Diary is a story that will appeal to both the parent and the child. Despite the simple language of writing and cheerful animal in the role of the protagonist, the book offers to think about the eternal philosophical questions. I want to re-read the story again and again, and the children are delighted with the colorful statements and poems of the four-legged friend. Who does not want to learn more about the memoirs of the first dog who can write?

Quotes from the Mickey Fox Diary book Sasha Cherny

There are no cats here. Not a single cat. Not half a pound. Not a quarter-cat ... Did they all go to the burgers?

What is most important in life? Food. Needless to pretend! We have a house full of people. They talk, read, cry, laugh - and then they sit down to eat. They eat in the morning, eat in the afternoon, eat in the evening. And Zina eats even at night - hides biscuits and chocolates under the pillow and slowly slurps.

This is shameless - everything is for people: newspapers, horse racing, and maps. And nothing for dogs.

antonrai January 21, 2016, 09:53 Woof! I can think - and this is the most important thing.

Do you like lofts? I am very. People put the most interesting things in attics, and arrange boring tables and stupid dressers around the rooms.

It is necessary to record all of your grief, and then forget it.

Yesterday I lay under the sofa all day, I even lost weight.

What is most important in life? Food. Needless to pretend!

When in my student years I became acquainted with the work of Sasha Cherny, I often thought: it was not by chance that he chose such a pseudonym for himself. His gloomy, with bitterness, full of irony and black humor (and sometimes - complete "hopelessness") poems left a dual aftertaste: talented, bright, but what a sad!

But I completely forgot that, apart from “adult” satirical verses, he also wrote for children. And with what pleasure, picking up books for my son, I recently read The Fox Diary of Mickey! The book is so good that after reading you want to squeal, jump on your hind legs and, like a dog, happily wag your tail. But I will try to convert all these emotions into words.

Please find me a boat!

First of all, I want to mention a great edition. It is pleasant to hold the book in hands, to iron a matte cover with shiny glossy inserts. For kinesthetic like me, tactile sensations are very important.

The flyleaves are very intricately decorated, filled with small drawings - umbrellas, balls, giraffes, fish, cats, chairs, and even the Eiffel Tower - everything that came into the view of Fox Mickey and was reflected in his diary. With these bookends you can even play “I spy”, guessing: “please find me a boat”, “find me a turtle”. My little son loves this game very much.


The illustrations in the text are not just nice, they are awesome! The diary itself is an amusing reading, and together with the illustrations it turns out well, just very funny. There are many illustrations, they are on every page, and it is clear from them that the artist Anastasia Pozdnyakova read the book with attention and a smile. And I also like very much that the pages in the book are not white, but yellowish-beige, this warm background is very pleasing to the eye.


Does Zina have a tail?

Do you think animals think or not? My husband and I often ask ourselves: what does our cat think about when looking at us? Who does she think of us? Caring mom and dad? Hosts? Diligent servant? It is clear that Sasha Cherny was also interested in what the dog was thinking. And he created a dog diary. It turned out full of humor, irony, some "dog" grumbling notes of a creature with a rather original outlook on life. After all, Fox Mickey, as he himself signs, is “the first dog that can write.”

And what is he writing about? Yes, everything that he sees. For example, about his mistress, girl Zina, who “looks more like a Fox than a girl: she squeals, jumps, catches the ball (doesn't know how to mouth) and gnaws sugar, sucking like a little dog”. Mickey is very interested in the question whether Zina has a tail. But Zina “always walks in her girl’s little clothes; and in the bathroom does not let. Later, on the beach, Mickey satisfies his curiosity: “Yesterday peeped. Children have no tails. In vain I doubted.


Trained Dad

Mickey writes about the adults who surround him. Often in his words he heard the ironic voice of the satirist Black, who with pleasure put his observations into the mouth of the dog. Whatever the satirist writes, the text is a little satirical.

Got a little bit of everything.

And to the men: “But mom strictly looked at dad. He was trained: he fuknul, shrugged his shoulders and went to the veranda to read his newspaper. Ate? " “Now about adults. Men walk in white suits. Half a day smoke. Half a day reading the newspaper. Half a day swimming. Half a day removed.

And to the ladies: “Ladies all change clothes and change clothes. Then they undress, then they dress again. Swim is not very fond of. He will try water with his right thumb, sit down, sprinkle water on himself and lie on the shore like a turkey in a gastronomic showcase. ”


Who is marrying this skillet?

“Why, when I behave badly, they muzzle me, and the gardener gets drunk twice a week, boasts like a mad bull — and at least what?”

“The damned gardener and concierge agreed: they eat up all the food themselves, and only this horrible oatmeal is prepared for me. Even milk is pity, greedy! "

“The cook has a ragged book -“ Dream Interpretation. ” She often flips through her plump fingers and reads everything through the storehouses about some fiancé. You will think, who marries on such a frying pan? .. ”.


Carrots, peas, celery

Fox Mickey does not have a very high opinion of people and human customs: “What is most important in life? Food. Nothing to pretend. We have a house full of people. They talk, read, cry, laugh, and then sit down to eat. They eat in the morning, eat in the afternoon, eat in the evening. And Zina eats even at night: she hides biscuits and chocolates under the pillow and slowly slurps. ”

In his opinion, people are doing a lot of wrong and unnecessary things.

The human food plunges Fox into perplexity: “Why are these soups? Isn't pure water more delicious? Why are these carrots, peas, celery and other nastiness, which they spoil the roast? Why brew and fry at all? I recently tried a piece of raw meat ... I assure you: it was much more delicious than all those meatballs sizzling in a pan. ”

On the beach, he is amazed at his bathing suits: “People walk naked, wearing striped and black donuts. Into the holes in the bottom insert the legs. Buttons on the shoulder. Generally - stupid.

In a dream, Mickey sees himself as the director of a canine school. And when Zina goes to school and prepares lessons, the dog quite sensibly remarks:

“Zina is at school. And why should a girl learn so much? Still grow up, shave hair and will be on the couch for days on end. I know this breed. ”


Why do chickens carry so many eggs?

Mickey also reflects on animals realistically and sometimes rudely.

“Our cow is a fool. Why does she give so much milk? She has one son - a calf, and she feeds the whole house. ”

“Why do chickens carry so many eggs? It's horrible. They never have fun, they walk like sleepy flies, they have completely forgotten how to fly, they don’t sing like other birds. ”

“On the next balcony sits a pernicious little dog. In the ears there is tow, in the eyes is tow, on the lips is tow. Generally, some kind of tearful coupling, trash can, doggie, squeaky stuff! And you know her name? Gio-ko-nda ... Muzzle thou, face is rotten! "


It is not by chance that I quote these passages. Fox Mickey is not a stupid enthusiastic puppy, he is wise beyond his age and sometimes reasons like an adult, cynical, tired of life and has seen a lot of grumble. He has a very diverse lexicon, and sometimes there are not so much curses, but rather refined "dog" insults. The same “tearful muff”, for example, consists of two separate completely neutral words that are combined into a selective “bestial” curse word. These words delight me. This marvelous language portrait created Black to his four-legged character.

Of course, today's children can hardly be surprised by the words "fool" and "rubbish", but perhaps some parents may be surprised that these words are printed in the book. Not everyone likes this kind of humor.


Metaphoric drawing

During the reading of Mickey's Fox Diary, the main character reminded me of a grumbling old man, then of a small child with his thousands of “why?”. Mickey is a philosopher and thinker. What kind of questions are not filled with his head: “Do foxes live on the moon?”, “Why do the fish climb into the empty net?”, “Why are the trees all winter green?”, “Why did Zina Brona all be brunette, and today she has hair like a straw sheaf? ”

And it was very funny when my three-year-old son began to leaf through this picture book and ask me questions in exactly the same manner.

Why seals are like sausage? ("There are no cats here. Not a single cat. Not half a cat. Not a quarter of a cat ... Did they all go to the chops? Brr! No, no, I ran to the kitchen, I looked: chickens, calf meat, lamb ...).


Why do people have gramophones instead of heads? (“And everyone says, they say, they say, they have exactly got a gramophone in their stomach”).

Why do cats have wings? (“Behind the steamer is white boiling water, the seagulls fly after us and scream like hungry kittens ...)

Why are all faces green? (“You’d see how people in new suits behave on the ship, with new handkerchiefs in their pockets, when pitching begins!”)

Hats off to the illustrator! I have something to compare with, I have seen many other editions of the Diary with different pictures, but I have never met such “metaphorical” drawing anywhere. When it is not that which is represented, but that which Mickey thinks and represents, in the illustrations we see the world through his eyes, and this world is so unusual and good.


Dandelion girl's heart

Despite the rather gloomy views of life, Fox Mickey is a romantic, sensitive, thinking ... almost wrote - a man. Of course, dog. He knows how to love, he is jealous of Zina, rejoices at her, sad without her: “Yes, the girl’s heart is a dandelion. I forgot the doll, Mickey forgot. ”

He writes poetry, is friends with a mouse and a little sparrow, and at the moments of the greatest grief or upheaval sniffs valerian cork. Dear, dear! (with)

Concluding his diary, Fox Mickey dreams of publishing and fame.

“My little book would fall into the paws of some girl in a green dress ... She would have sat by the fireplace with my composition, would have read, turned over and smiled. And in every house where there are only small legs with bows and without bows, they would know my name: Mickey! ”

A fascinating story about Mickey's Fox Terrier, who kept his diary and expounded there his thoughts, thoughts and events of his life.
Mickey had a hostess, Zina, whom he compared to a Fox Terrier, because she also, like they caught a ball, loved to gnaw on sugar and Mickey even suspected that she also had a tail, but he could not make sure of it. in the bathroom. Mickey could read, but only children’s books with the largest letters, and eventually he even learned to write, because he was a very intelligent dog, almost a professor.
Fox Mickey believed that the main thing in life was food, he devoted a whole chapter in his diary in which he compared what tastes better - bones or jam, soup or plain water. Mickey also liked to write poetry, though sometimes he broke a pencil, but he couldn’t sharpen them and he had to steal pencils, sharpened by people, in order to continue the story.
When autumn came, Zina and her parents left for another house, and Mickey Fox was left in the care of the cook and the gardener. The dog was very sorry that he had the last pencil stub and he did not think to take a reserve. He tried to hint about this to Zina, but people do not understand the canine language.
Later, Mickey found pencils in a forgotten cigarette box and resumed journaling. When he was alone, he watched the game little mice, because he loved them very much, but he did not try to play with them, because he understood that for them he was big as an elephant and they would most likely be frightened and run away.
And when Fox became very sad and lonely, he ran to the attic, talked to the old Zina's doll there, played with other toys - Mickey loved the attic and thought that it was there that the most interesting things were found, and the furniture that stands in the room is boring and stupid.
And then Mickey came to Paris, he settled in there, sometimes teasing a little dog who lived on a nearby balcony, and then rolled on the floor and laughed at her. And once she and Zina got into the cinema and Fox wondered for a long time how people, policemen and cars move on the canvas, why everything is black and white and why people open their mouth, but there are no sounds from there. Mickey didn’t like the film about human love and he regretted why they don’t make films for dogs, they are more and more interested.
Once Zina came running, took Fox and they drove to the sea, to the beach. They played a ball, Mickey barked at the waves and met all the children on the beach. There he was convinced that small children do not have a tail. After this trip, Zina drove Mickey to the Zoological Garden, where there were different animals - the white bear, camel, monkeys, tigers, lions, porcupines, bison and many others.
And then Mickey got lost. He ran to the beach, ran there past all the booths, then ran home, turned off in the wrong place, got into someone else's garden, where he tore an old shoe and realized that he was lost. The little girl saw him and led him to her home. Once Mickey and the girl Lily went to the beach, where he saw his old mistress Zina and he was very happy to see her.
Then they went with Zina to the circus, where Mickey saw trained lions, walruses, shaggy horses and other circus artists. Some time after visiting a circus, Mickey with Zina and her parents set sail on a motor ship. The sea was very worried and Fox was very bad, seasickness. He sniffed lemon peel and asked the sea to stop rolling.
Then Mickey returned to Paris. He bade the ocean, the forest, the shopkeeper, and looked forward to returning home. Upon arrival, Mickey was often cold, as autumn was coming to an end. And, lying by the fireplace, Mickey dreamed, as it would be great if someone had published his diary, little girls would read his adventures, and everyone would know his name.

In his story, the author tells us stories from the life of a small dog Fox Micky. The story is divided into twelve parts, each of which reveals to us the life of a dog on the new side. The story is on behalf of Fox Mickey.

In the first part of the dog presents us his mistress - Zina. Tells about her life from his "dog side". Immediately we learn that Mickey is a smart dog, can write and even read a little. An important part in the life of Mickey is food and eating. But she strongly opposes cooking and believes that everything needs to be served in its original form. Mickey is very interested in what is happening in the circle and asks herself a lot of strange questions, like "Why does a cow give a lot of milk, but a horse doesn't?"

In the next part, Mickey already writes poems and tells us a fascinating story about how he played with kittens and picked up the block. The dog is very surprised by the statements of people, and she cannot understand why Zinin's father so often says that his eyes were on his forehead. Mickey look at the moon and assumes that the same Foxes live there too on earth. He is very concerned about what they eat and whether they howl to the ground. The dog asks why when he bites or spoils something, then he is muzzled, and there is no drinking janitor. Then Fox Mickey moves to Paris and with the same peculiar approach continues to analyze the actions and actions of people.

In the conclusion of the story, Mickey hopes that his book will gain popularity and every little girl will know his name. The story teaches the reader to be kinder and look at the world from different sides.
