‘तनीयसी’ कविता युवराज ने अपनी बेटी (तनीयसी) की बाल सुलभ चेष्टाओं को देखकर लिखी है । ‘नगरी’ कविता में कवि ने महानगरों की वर्तमान स्थिति का चित्रण किया है । अपनी प्रत्येक कविता में कवि ने बालकों के साथ-ही-साथ बड़ो को भी नैतिकता का संदेश देने का प्रयास किया है । ध्यानास्पद है कि डॉ.टेकचन्द्र मीणा के निर्देशन में दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय की शोधच्छात्रा ‘हेमलता रानी’ ने अपने पीएचडी में बालसाहित्य की रचनाओं के अन्तर्गत ‘तनीयसी’ काव्य को भी शामिल किया है । गेय छ्न्दों में निबद्ध यह काव्य पाठक को शुरू से अन्त तक बाँधे रखने की सामर्थ्य रखता है । युवकवि युवराज भट्टराई की लिखी इस काव्यकृति में बाल मनोविज्ञान से सम्बन्धित कविताओं का संकलन किया गया है। भारतीय समाज में ही नहीं अपितु विश्व के समस्त समाजों के बच्चे ही भविष्य के कर्णधार होते हैं। अत: उनके कोमल मानस में नैतिक मूल्यों के बोध कराने वाले ये कविताएं अवश्य ही बाल छात्रों के लिए उपकारी होंगे।
