Reflections of violence on children's books

In children's literature products ethic value judgments, didactic, informative, instructive; and counseling also the cautionary factors outweigh more. Furthermore, without generalizing, when we look at some of the children's literature products, components containing violent and aggressive behaviors are not escaped from notice. Children's literature products involving such components raise a question mark in minds; how these work as an educational appliance for young children. For this reason, exhibiting the components in children's literacy products which might head the child at violent acts with aggressive behavior, attracting the attention of people interested in subject and providing recommendations on how children's literature products should be is the purpose of this study.
