The article constitutes an attempt at an introductory description of educational values of eleven short stories for children written by Agnieszka Zimnowodzka. While discussing the educational function of the selected material, considering the compositional-structural and semantic-linguistic (including naming) layers of the stories, references to pragmalingusitic analysis and theory of semantic fields (with appropriate methodological solutions) were made.

The text raises the question of movement as a crucial category in the process of a child’s literary reception. The article reflects on the kinetic aspects of a text and a reader as well as on the perspective of a child’s subjective reception as dependent on personal predispositions of a child‑recipient. The author is interested in the intersections of the components of a literary work and the capabilities of a child‑recipient, that is, in the phenomenon called “reader response.” Referring to achievements of developmental psychology, the researcher introduces the figure of a child reader. Next, on the example of Jan Brzechwa’s poem “Stonoga,” she presents its mobility in language, pointing to the existence of “dynamic images,” created in a recipient’s imagination. In this way, she indicates the kinesthetic value of children’s literature.

The paper discusses children’s literature as a construction (re)produced by adults. The author refers to several questions raised about the meaning of this notion and its relationships with so-called adult literature, presents main scholarly theories on it, and shows that western image of this category of books relies on constructions of childhood. It is indicated that the dominant western construction of children’s literature as a “safe and useful land of immaturity” bases on two discourses, which organize the ways of understanding childhood in this cultural circle (not forgetting about particular national variants): the Romantic discourse and the discourse of tabula rasa. From this perspective, children’s literature can be seen as a result of adult fantasies, assumptions, desires, and rules. This construction, as the author argues, is being reproduced by children’s stories, which may repeat it in various modalities or, paradoxically, negate it.

The article provides an example of the influence of the cultural code, as well as linguistic conventions, on the form of a translation. A comparison between the original text and the translated Polish and Swedish texts revealed the adjustment to the cultures receiving the translations. Polish translator Joanna Borycka-Zakrzewska exploited the stylistic richness of the Polish language and used a variety of marked verbs, where additional paralinguistic elements are also stressed. Frequent repetitions of the same verb would in Polish be felt to be incompatible with accepted conventions. Swedish translator IngridnWikén Bonde have not varied the translation and used the lexical repetitions. It was possible to transfer Schmidt’s simple and repetitive style into the Swedish text without interfering with Swedish linguistic and stylistic conventions.

Poland has a long history, but unfortunately, this history is also full of battles for independence, to keep the Polish language and culture, and a struggle for Christian values. What was supporting these processes? According to many experts Polish literature has been one important factor. In this article, the role of Polish literature for children, especially poetry, in supporting their creativity and Polishness will be analysed. Subsequently the article will outline the history of Polish literature for children, the importance of patriotic and religious literature, especially during the Partition and Soviet time and the nature of children’s literature.

The author of the article focuses on the stereotypical depiction of femininity in contemporary Ukrainian advice literature. By discussing norms and patterns of behavior present in Ukrainian advice literature for girls, he shows their role in the post-Soviet reemergence of patriarchal norms. The article focuses on five bookspublished in the last five years: A Real Lady. A Handbook for Girls (2012), A Book for a Young Lady (2014), A 100% Girl (2016), Encyclopedia for Girls (2016), and A Stylish Book for a Little Lady (2015).

The article discusses children’s literature as a matter that can become highly politicized. While often viewed as apolitical, stories for children have always been subjected to hegemonic ideologies and mediated dominant norms. The analysis focuses on gender dimension of this normativity and shows that the attempts to create gender subversive stories for children have to face not only the conservative backlash but they also have to deal with wider cultural context and contemporary meanings of childhood. The last section of the article shows that no matter how gender balanced or stereotypical a story is, the interpretation lies with children themselves. Thus, researchers analyzing messages in children’s stories always have to take into account young readers and their diverse ways of understanding.

Although in the first decades of the 20th century the Albanian literature for children did not recognize any distinguished literary work, a series of liberation insurrections in north and south as well as the Declaration of Independence in 1912 show the great efforts of our Renaissance figures who were teachers, ideologists and active participants in the armed movement. All this big issues in the life of Albanian people as well as their freedom-loving spirit become the inspiration of many themes, details and motives in the Albanian literature for children. Some of well-known representatives of our national Renaissance such as: Çajupi, Asdreni, Fishta, Mjeda, Gurakuqi, Xanoni, J.Bageri etc., continued writing even during the first decades of the 20th century. In their poetic and literary writings, one could distinguish the romantic spirit of the exuberance of the love for the country, for the nature, for the universe, and sometimes there could be distinguished even a realistic tone which described the Albanian life. Throughout all this literary work, the love for the country was connected with the love for the language and with the great efforts that were made for founding Albanian schools, with the reverberation of the wars for freedom, with the description of nature, birds and flowers as well as with the inspiration taken from the fantastical and fabulous world of the world literature.

This paper will seek to test two methodologies theorizing about translating children’s literature, one of which can be termed as the first theory in this field, shaped by Göte Klingberg and the other, polemical to the first one, introduced by Ritta Oittinen. On the example of children’s classic, Peter Pan and Wendy, it will be argued if the both methodologies allow the analysis of children’s literature translation and can justify most of the changes made by translators.

The aim of this article is to answer the question as to how to make a child reader interested in and focusing attention on reading. According to Jerzy Cieślikowski and many other researchers, children’s literature has its own rules, poetics of genres, and specific communications circuit: publishing houses, the market, the press, and criticism. Dorota Masłowska employed the form of a literary fairy tale to reach out to a young audience. Usingthe conventions of this genre, she described one of the most painful problems of modern times – excessive consumerism, in which modern man completely loses himself.

The paper is an attempt to present the ways of functioning of the migration is-sue in the latest Polish literature for children and young people, which uses a certain universal topos, namely the home and narratives related to hospitality, when presenting the phenomenon studied. Such a problematised view of the is-sue is inscribed in the reflection on intercultural education, under the patron-age of the philosophy of love and compassion represented by Martha Nuss-baum. The assumptions of the humanistic philosophy of love will be confront-ed with the (pre-)school and school practice preparing children to meet the Other.

This article is a review of Agnieszka Wandel’s book monograph titled Przemiany współczesnej książki popularnonaukowej dla dzieci i młodzieży (na przykładzie francuskiej oferty wydawniczej). The author argues that the book has been written in a clear, flowing style. Wandel easily conveys knowledge in an explicit and concise manner, but when necessary, also descriptively. She is not afraid of formulating her own opinions and drawing conclusions as well as observing what processes and tendencies have come about, even when she is aware that her judgements may not be universal and complete. This makes for the usefulness of the book for researchers who can become inspired to a further scientific debate.

Alan Alexander Milne is known primarily as an author of four books for children – two volumes of poetry, When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We Are Six (1927), and also two collections of stories, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). In each of these works appears a character inspired by the writer’s son, Christopher Robin Milne. In Great Britain and the United States shortly after the release the poems commanded a lot of interest and fame was won primarily by Christopher Robin. As the writer said himself after years: “[…] it was Christopher Robin, not I, whom Americans were clamouring to see; and, in fact (to make due acknowledgement at last), it was Christopher Robin, not I, not the publishers, who was selling the book in such large and ridiculous quantities”. And it is to Christopher (Robin) that this article is devoted – the character I propose to call a sylleptic character. It examines the relationship between reality and fiction, what events from life inspired the literary works, but also how these works influenced the life of the writer and his son.

Today’s seniors are the last generation that was brought up in book culture and whose childhood was free of the dominant presence of mass media. On the other hand, the contemporary youth is surrounded by new technologies almost from birth and book is often merely one of many media they access. The aim of the paper is to examine children’s book characters from the perspective of two generations – grandparents’ and grandchildren’s – with different lecture experiences and media competences. The study will include an analysis of the statements made by students of the University of the Third Age in Wrocław and students of the Institute of Library and Information Science at the University of Wrocław. The characters known from school as well as extra curricular reading will be presented and readers’ attachment to them and their fates will be described in the text. The paper will seek to highlight different ways of regarding childhood literary characters as well as common choices of children’s book heroes.

The paper is an attempt to show the construction of one of the main characters of the children’s works by Ewa Szelburg-Zarembina Renia. She is a girl who appears not only in Najmilsi stories but also in the poet’s poems. Renia is a very complex, ambiguous character, mysteriously connected with her creator Zarembina. Through analysis, the author of the article shows how the poet constructed the figure of the girl and how much she breaks through these works.
