The mother of the two sons and the author of funny detectives, unusual norment books, scary stickers and inspiring diaries. Her first books “Hello from Cutlets” and “Kotovasia on Carousels” were published in the publishing house “ABC”.

The first listener of the stories about the home cat of the ostrich was the little son Eugene. Later, from simple fairy tales at night, a cheerful detective “Caution, kindergarten!

But what to read to young children? A great option for reading the first detective is the funny investigation of the ostrich cat from Evgenia Malinkina. The “Detective with the Tail” series has long been well -deserved popularity for a light fascinating plot, funny dialogs and funny pictures. The other day, the release of the third book about the cat of the ostrich - “The kidnappers of the holiday” took place.

On the eve of the release, we met with the writer Evgenia Malinkina at the Moscow International Book Fair and talked about the “detective with the tail” and the detective genre in general. In a children's detective, as in a fairy tale, goodness should win and criminals can be re -educated. In an adult detective, adults are crimes, and criminals are bloodthirsty and merciless. At meetings with readers, I ask the children “What is a detective?

How do they know about it? It is definitely not from my detectives. In a children's detective, everything is softer, but no less confused than in an adult. Sometimes, they themselves come up with. All sorts of ideas are constantly climbing in mind. I would like to write about it and about that. Suppose you hear a fragment of someone’s phrases about sneakers, something will seem funny and then you begin to develop this topic in your head.

As a result, the thought flies far from what he heard, transforms into something else, but it all began with sneakers. Somewhere here the plot originates. I record my ideas. When on the phone, when on a piece of paper. Sometimes you re -read and you can’t remember what was meant, because the thought was spontaneous and “on the knee” recorded. It is necessary not only to describe the situation, but to describe it with such words that the child will understand.

Often, adults read books for children, so I always try to write so that adults are also fun. I prefer autobiographies, biographies, life stories. I do not really like inventions. I love her in the text all sorts of cozy corners, snow -white napkins, crispy rolls - she describes so deliciously. This is from ours.

From the Western I find it difficult to answer - I have not read for a long time. I really like to mix children. She began to write a story about the cat and gave her to her mother’s grandmother, who read it for the night. And I stood outside the door and eavesdropped, where they were funny and where not. As a result, they, poor, “tested” the story many times, because I constantly finished and remade something.

And the name of the series "Detective with the tail" was invented by Vadim Yuryevich Meshcheryakov, my publisher. To date, there are 5 detective stories about a cat of ostrich. There will probably be more, because I love Kotov very much. I have three at home, we call our trinity “knitwear”. In almost every work of my work - there are already more than twenty of them - a cat is necessarily present.

I like to compose about a cat of ostrich. The ostrich and his friends are funny and alive. It happens that they themselves “dictate” adventures, and I only have time to record. Red, fat, fed and educated - in general, the cat is ostrich. The character of the cat ostrich is a little like my eldest son Leo. I wanted to please him, first of all, therefore, one of the cats named Leo, in honor of her son.

Sometimes the heroes say funny phrases that my children actually said, and I recorded in time. For example, the book “The kidnappers of the holiday” just ends with such a phrase, it once said the younger Max. How did the idea come to make a cat with an accent? She has a character - a policeman who talked very strangely - on a mixture of Danish and Polish. It was funny and I wanted to create a similar character.

Leo cat is the beloved hero of my children. Were there other versions of the name? First of all, I came up with the name of a cat - Strauss. It all started with this - with the idea that there would be a cat Strauss, and then the rest of the heroes pulled up. And it began ... - Will there be a continuation of the story about a cat ostrich? Working names: “Caution: Kindergarten” and “The Secret of the Ghost Casket”.

I guarantee a good mood when reading, and where there is a good mood, there is health, and everything else.When I re -read and edited the text, I laughed myself. I hope that readers will also be funny and interesting. By the way, in the new book the cat Leo is returned from the “Cat of the Ostrus Cat”. Stories about a cat ostrich can be read separately from each other.
