Children’s literature lends itself to the diffusion of stereotypes, which have two facets: they are simultaneously reductive and formative. This editorial production, with its paradoxical mission both to teach and entertain, is weighed down by its constraints. It also suffers from the pervasiveness of linguistic, narrative and ideological stereotypes. Yet we do not underestimate the value of stereotypical phenomena, which also promote the development of skills that will shape future readers of literature.
