Özet:

In our world, children's books have a long and rich history. First of all, literary and moral understanding was emphasized in children’s books. After the 19th century, this understanding changed, and the development and educational direction of children's books took its place. Today, the focus is on developing children’s language, mental, social, emotional and physical skills. So the child is focused on being a good reader, on self-development and lifelong learning. The children’s books are prepared carefully to this goal. A variety of approaches are used when preparing children’s books. These are gathered in four groups: historical, sociological, psychological and educational approaches. The research is aimed at identifying the approaches observed in children's books. Thirty books that were discussed for this purpose were studied through visual analysis. The research found that half of the books were based on the social and psychological half, while the behavioral education approach was based on the psychological and psychological half. Contemporary teaching approaches have not been shown to be up-to-date in children’s books that need to be prepared taking into account the changing living conditions. It is recommended to do detailed and future-oriented studies on the approaches of children's books. The research is expected to contribute to teachers candidates, children's books writers and educators.
