- Abstract
- In children's literature, talking animals run rampant. These characters exhibit various levels of anthropomorphism, from talking or thinking like a human, to wearing clothes and riding bicycles. Through the examination of ten of the most commonly seen animals in children's books and a selection of 120 titles, the role and importance of anthropomorphic animals in children's literature is assessed.
