Özet:

The subject of the paper concerns verbaliconic texts, analyzed on the example of the illustrated covers of fairy tales for children where the literary title is inscribed in its visual surroundings, simultaneously constituting its integral part. The relations in which the title of the fairy tale and its visual surroundings remain with the reference to one another, are a basis for treating covers of fairy tales for children as complex visual surfaces. The paper presents numerous examples of how the title of a given fairy tale and the graphic environment mutually complement each other, remaining in the relation of partnership and symbiosis. The article also constitutes an attempt at answering the question in what way to shape such visual surfaces on covers of fairy tales so as to, owing to them, focus a child’s attention and make them interested in reading a particular fairy tale as well as simultaneously support their linguistic competence.
