COMPARISON OF THE CREATIVE STYLES OF JANNY RODARI AND KHUDOYBERDI TOKHTABOYEV

Abstract

The realm of children's literature is replete with talented writers from diverse backgrounds, each contributing their unique perspective and narrative style to the genre. Among these writers, two figures stand out for their distinct approaches to storytelling: Gianni Rodari, an Italian writer of children's books and poetry, and Kudoberdy Tokhtaboyev (also known as Khabibulla Kadyrov's literary pseudonym Kudoberdi Tokhtaboev), an Uzbek writer and a prominent figure in the Soviet children's literature scene. Although their lives and works spanned different regions and eras, Rodari and Tokhtaboyev shared a deep passion for crafting engaging stories that captured the hearts of their young readers. This article seeks to explore and compare the creative styles of these two accomplished children's writers, analyzing the characteristic elements of their writing and the lasting impact they have made on the literary landscape.
