Garhwalis are grateful to Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna for his poetries for children as the critics value famous poets as Edward Lear , Francis Scott Key, Jonathan Swift, G. K Chesterton, Louisa May Alcott, Robert Bridges , Joseph Rodman Drake, Julia W Howe, Lewis Carroll, Oliver W. Holmes, Marry Hewitt , Richards Jones, Robert Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, T .S Elliot, Thomas Hood , William Blake, Stephen foster, Shel Silverstein for creating verses for children.
There are two poetry collections in Garhwali language for children that is Dr Nand Kishor Dhoundiyal edited a few folk poetries in Bal Upyogi Lok geet and other collection is ‘Ankh-Pankh’ a modern Garhwali poems by renowned literature creative Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna.
Terry (1974 ) and Fisher Natarella (1982) found by their independent scientific researches that children like the narrative poems over lyrical ones, children prefer poetic formed poems, children favor rhythmical poems, the rhythmical poems should be regular and distinctive poems and children favor the harmonious poems, verses of animals , and poetries about familiar experiences. Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna has been marvelous in creating poems ( Poems of Ankh Pankh) for children on the above characteristics of poems for children.
There are twenty seven poems in this first collection of Garhwali poetries for children. Each poem is different in subject and theme. ‘Raja Rangdo‘, ‘Leesa a Mankhi‘, ‘Bhainsya‘, ‘Lalchi Master’ poems are best example of telling the stories for children through poetries . Petpal is a humorous poem. ‘Bedvart’ is about narration of Khirsu fair near Pauri . Abodh Bandhu cleverly tells a folk story through verses in ‘Hirnakurs‘. ‘Jitha Ji’ poem narrates culture of Garhwal and children will enjoy solving riddles and many questions in poems- Chatur Kaje’ bat ki Bat. Sukdi poem offers message with joy and simple wordings. Akhod Jhadai tells the action of farmers of Garhwal and Ghindwa Ghindudi attract the children for animal oriented stories. Kani Maja ho teaches the geography through simile and Abodh shows his mastery in using simile . Choli and faunsi are again the folk stories in the form of poetries. Like that other poems are attractive to the children
The style of Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna is very fine and children could understand the poem easily. The language is very simple and Bahuguna used contemporary proverbs and saying in creating poems. Humour is always there in most of the poem and the poems provide knowledge and message but by indirect methods.
Conclusively it is right that as the literature historian Roger Blackwell Beilley applaud the works of Aelfric, Caxton, William, Sir Thomas Malory , John Foxe, Richard Malcaster, Richard Hakluyt , John Cotton, John A Comenius, John Bunyan, Charles Perrault, Antony Galland , Isaac Watts, Oliver Goldsmith Daniel DeFoe, Thomas Day, Charles Lamb, William Roscoe, Jacob Grimm, Johan R Wyss, Washington Irving, Sir Walter Scott, Clement Moore, H C Anderson, William McGuffey, E .A Poe, Charles Dickens, Alexander Dumas, Edward Lear, John Ruskin, Thomas Bulfinch, Henry w Longfellow, Charles Kingsley, R M Ballantyne, M .M Dodge, Jules Verne, George McDonald, Dinah M Craik, Samuel Clemens, Mark Twain, Anna Sewell, Alfred Church, Sidney Lanier, J.W Riley, F H.
