The place of literary works for the development of individuals in the early age cannot be denied. One of the most fundamental functions of children’s literature is to ensure that individuals are sensitive to many things from the early age. Giving them a read habit, loving reading, and making them sensitive to the library is one of the main functions of these kinds of works. Based on these reasons, children's books have some internal and external structural characteristics to bear. The external structure features appear to us as "dimensions, paper, cover-leather, page layout, letters and images". These concepts relate to the physical structure of books prepared for children. The interior structural characteristics come to us as "theme, plan, mirror, characters, language and narrative, messages, environment". A child book should be in the topics that are suitable for the children, it should be simple and consistent in terms of the planning of events. Children’s books should also be in accordance with the basic educational principles. This study, written by Roald Dahl, studied the interior and external characteristics of Charlie’s Children’s novel “The Chocolate Factory”, which was printed by Can (Children) Art Publications, and the book was evaluated in the context of the basic educational principles for children’s literature. The research is done in the framework of quality research. In the study, the data was obtained by the method of document examination, analyzed by visual analysis. The study found that the work called "Charlie's Chocolate Factory" was qualified and adapted to the child in terms of its structural characteristics and basic educational principles.
