Gender stereotypes in picture books

Slikovnica je prva knjiga s kojom se dijete susreće. Ona je sredstvo pomoću kojeg dijete uči te otkriva svijet koji ga okružuje. U radu su obrađene funkcije i vrste slikovnica te povijesni razvoj slikovnice u svijetu i kod nas. Kako je tema rada problemske tematike, obrađeni su rodni stereotipi i njihov utjecaj na djecu koji se analizira kroz odabrane slikovnice. Svrha ovog rada je da se kroz analizu slikovnica ustanovi pristup rodnim stereotipima u starijim i u novijim slikovnicama, koliko su zastupljeni i koliko nisu te jesu li se mijenjali kroz vrijeme.Picture books are the first books children come across. They are a means with which they learn and discover the world around them. In this thesis, the functions and types of picture books are addressed, as well as their historical development throughout the world and in Croatia. Since the subject matter of the thesis is problem-oriented, gender stereotypes are addressed, along with their influence on children, which is analyzed trough chosen picture books. The aim of this thesis is to determine the approach to gender stereotypes trough the analysis, in older and newer picture books, to what extent they are present, and if they have changed throughout history
