Summary/Abstract: Current developments of Children’s Literature Translation Studies prove that the globalization of the children’s book market and of children’s culture have had a major influence on translation proper as well as on the scholars’ interest in the field. The intercultural turn in translation studies in general becomes evident in translating literature for children too. The aim of this paper is to show that there are a number of clear-cut changes in translation practices according to the impact of translation on the target culture. Although there is still a discrepancy between translation into English and translation from English into other languages, target readers are more than willing to accept a mutual exchange.
