Summary/Abstract: Children’s poetry of the pre-Zmaj period does not occupy an important place today in the histories of children’s literature, anthologies of children’s poetry and primary school curricula. This paper illustrates that a more explicit didacticity of the pre-Zmaj poetry could help its revitalization and therefore analyzes the linguistic and stylistic means which are used to send a message to the reader (among them stylistically neutral means but also some stylistic operations and certain stylistic principles). The aim of this analysis is the identification of mechanisms which contribute to the educational value of the text and open up the doors of the educational process. The result of the inclusion of such directed interpretation in the classroom should be early awareness of ideological aspects of the written text and the awakening of a more critical relationship towards it.
