Abstract

ENCABO-FERNANDEZ, Eduardo  and  JEREZ-MARTINEZ, Isabel. Literatura infantil y educación primaria: análisis del valor formativo de los libros más leídos en Espana. Perspectiva [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.03, pp.947-966. ISSN 0102-5473.

The purpose of this article is to present the relationship among the most widely read children’s books in Spain, specifically at the elementary school level. We intend to determine if these books have an appropriate educational value or if the texts merely present commercial criteria. We discuss important issues such as the possibility of establishing a formative canon and the difficulties inherent to this process. The development of reading and of children’s literature in the official school curriculum and a detailed analysis of those texts that are the most purchased and read by Spanish children is also examined.

Keywords : Children's Literature; Teacher Education; Promoting Reading.
