Children’s Literature
Literature does not necessarily mean education. Literature
is, above all, a cultural and artistic product made for readers to
enjoy. Consequently, children’s literature should also be
considered a cultural and artistic product that can appeal to
young readers. However, as the title of this chapter suggests,
is it also possible to use literature as an educational tool? The
aim of this paper is to discuss the relationship between
children’s literature and education and how both disciplines
can be linked through the development of literary competence
at a young age.
