Background: Tales were transmitted from one generation to another, enriching young people with values, beliefs, imagination and creativity. Children’s literature still plays a crucial part in education as it provides knowledge and entertainment, representing a typical example of"edutainment". In this paper, we carried out a review to examine pedagogic, didactic and psychological/therapeutic dimensions of children’s literature, with the aim of highlighting its role in promoting students’ holistic development and wellbeing. Methods: We have searched for original articles (from 1960s to 2019), by using the following keywords: "fairytales" or "fairy tales" or "folktales" or "fables" AND "education" or"development" or "learning" or "teaching" or "school" or "curriculum" or "classroom" AND"children" or "child" or "kids" or "childhood" AND "health" or "wellbeing". Results: We found 17 studies concerning pedagogic aspect of children literature, while 21 and17 studies were selected for didactic and therapeutic dimensions, respectively. From a pedagogic point of view, tales convey basic values useful for children lives. In a didactic perspective, properly chosen storybooks represent a valuable resource for school activities, improving students’ language skills and building up a friendly/respectful classroom environment. Children stories are also used by health professionals for therapeutic purposes (bibliotherapy) to prevent unhealthy habits and addictions, or address psychosomatic disorders. Finally, storybooks and web-based/digital stories can be an effective vehicle for health contents, to encourage the adoption of healthy lifestyles among schoolchildren. Conclusion: Children’s literature and storytelling could be helpful in promoting students’ global development and wellbeing, when included in school curricular activities.

“…McKinney and Jones (1998) in their remarks noted that books are of value. It has been suggested that books can be used to develop critical thinking skills (Holmes and Ammon, 1985;Brown, 1986;Lehman and Hayes, 1985;Mosher, 1986;Rieken and Miller, 1990Masalki, 2001and McKesson Health Solution, 2003. Kirsch, Jungeblut, Jenkins, and Koistad (1993) still on importance of books noted that if comic books are less available for children it explains class difference in literacy development.…”

“…In the same philosophy where softening any painful spikes with euphemistic tendencies also runs -parallel to the illustration-the narration of the text, since they often chose for death a number of poetic or metaphorical descriptions which, while they carry the same weight of information, they differ significantly in their emotional and experiential colouring [8]. As much as many disagreements are expressed with the number of lenient, softer expressions used to indicate death, in that they may not only cause confusion (e.g.…”

confidence: 99%

“…Some authors choose bold, cheerful colors who, in combination with well-designed, rotund figures seek to exorcise with a visual euphemism the pain of death (see the Old Pig). Others prefer brown, earth tones, perhaps with clear connotations of burial customs and religious views of the return to Mother Earth (Melenios and his grandfather who passed away), while others resort to soft colors, creating what we might call a "mood book" where pain is not proclaimed but merely suggested [8]. When even the faint discretion of colors is accompanied by the use of watercolor, the images in the book, damp from the humidity of watercolors, refer directly to a sense of wetness created by tears shed (see The Wall).…”

Abstract-As times are changing and death is becoming increasingly a taboo matter, children's literature is exempted by a series of fatal events that happened predominantly a time ago within many stories. This article's main purpose is to analyze and demonstrate under psychological lens the concept of death in classic fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, The Snow White and the Sleeping Beauty as well as in modern fairy tales like The Little Prince and The Happy Prince. As a conclusion, we can say that in a world, where death is a common fate of all and the only sure fact of life, children's books often find the words and colors to describe it. And it is a great comfort that the palette of death includes the whole spectrum of colors. Just as with life itself.
