Dobre maniery, czyli o dydaktyzmie we współczesnej literaturze dziecięcej

The author ponders upon didacticism in the literatury texts for children. The paper starts with determining its role in the children’s fiction. The author analyses numerous popular works that constitute the description of savoir‑vivre, that is the art of living, among others: she analyses the message intention, communicative situation, the level of text organization and the level of language skills. Conclusions from the analysis allow to determine the contemporary form and the role of the didacticism in relation to the young reader and they also show the difference between former moralizing and modern didactic texts.
