Croatian Children Coming of Age Novel

Rad je podijeljen na dva dijela, teorijski i praktični. Kroz prvi dio rada, teorijski, napravljen je presjek dječje književnosti, kako svjetske, tako i hrvatske, od početaka pa sve do danas. Spomenute su sve književne vrste, njihovi najpoznatiji predstavnici i njihova djela. Postepenim prikazom svih književnih vrsta, njihovih predstavnika i djela, dolazi se do najpoznatije književne vrste – romana. Roman je najopsežnija i najkompleksnija književna vrsta, ali za ovaj rad najbitniji su bili dječji roman i roman u trapericama. U praktičnom dijelu opisan je nastanak slikovnice u dječjem vrtiću. Slikovnicu su osmislila i oslikala djeca na temelju pročitanih ulomaka iz znanstveno-fantastičnog dječjeg romana Eko Eko, koji u sebi sadrži i elemente proze u trapericama.As we can se, this work consists of two parts: a theoretical and practical.
