Children's literature is an umbrella term that includes many genres, discourses, and texts. It is difficult to define the term according to the literary work itself; instead, it can be defined according to the function, target reader, and elements of the work. In other words, a work can be recognized as a children's literary work if it achieves the functions of children's literature. That is to say, children's literature can be defined as a work, with complete literary elements, that is intended to entertain, educate, and motivate children. This book contains selected essays about children's literature.
