Summary/Abstract: The content of children’s literature didactics for the elementary school course was elaborated and organized according to the principles specified in the current curricula documents, namely, providing an adequate balance between the theoretical-applicatory themes with operational value and those centered on intra/inter/cross-disciplinary correlations and openings and the advancing of a thematics able to fundament innovative didactic practices and stimulate differential application and creativity in the didactic process, by emphasizing the practical-applicatory nature of the proposed themes. In this sense, children’s literature didactics, as a special type of didactics, offers multiple solutions in the application of school programmes. The main characteristic of the outline of this course is the structuring of its problematics on modern themes, corresponding to innovative dimensions and perspectives of approach: the conceptual dimension, the curricular and didactic dimension, the textual-thematic and functional-discursive dimension, the inter-and cross-disciplinary dimensions. The study of the proposed contents is based on highly-regarded bibliography sources and references. Thus, the bibliography comprises the most recent studies corresponding to the new curricular vision and to the problematics of the course, reference material not only for the didactics of children’s literature in elementary school, but also on a more general level, represented by the most popular developments in the area of pedagogical and philological research.
