Abstract
In this paper we present a review of the field of study that links children's literature and pedagogy, based on the analysis of 69 articles published in three journals that focus on children's literature in Brazil: Leitura: Teoria & Prática; Tigre Albino; Revista Emília. Through the analysis, we seek to highlight the main issues raised in these journals regarding the pedagogical dimensions of children's literature. Before the results of the analysis, however, we present a brief historical retrospective of the main issues involving children's literature and pedagogy. The results showed that, on the one hand, most of the articles emphasize the importance of literature for the formation of the subject, on the other hand, they present suggestions to safeguard the playful, artistic and literary dimensions of children's literature in schools.
