Uma questão delicada: a qualidade dos livros literários infantis sob o olhar das crianças.

Abstract

This article is an excerpt of a Doctoral research that focused on analyzing which elements of books considered highly recommended for children by the Children‟s Books National Foundation (FNLIJ) were perceived and highlighted by children themselves. The research methodology consisted of conducting literary conversations with 25 children divided in groups of four to five people, based on the Reading Circle Dynamic (DANIELS & STEINEKE, 2004; COSSON, 2014) and the Dime Approach (CHAMBERS, 2007), which stimulate the reader to talk about their reading experience and share it with others. The article focuses on the controversial and complex issue of the quality of the literary book from the perspective of children. The interaction with the young readers about the award-winning books revealed aspects of the critical choices they make, allowing elements to be gathered for a broader reflection on the formation of readers and the importance of mediations.
