Summary/Abstract: Children's literature can be defined as a cultural, artistic and social phenomenon that is directly related to the history of childhood. So many texts intended for children reflect contentically on the relationships that surround them in the real world. Because of this, children are most often presented in literary texts in an environment that is characteristic of their life, most often family and school.A family is a basic social group associated with affection in which children are cared for and upgraded. Family relationships are often the theme of children's stories and are closely related to changes that occur in family communities under the influence of social change. Literary texts that are offered to children often depict a particular family model that often 237corresponds to the family models that are present in society. Hence, by looking at literary works, especially those describing families, they should also keep in mind their cognitive and educational function.This paper deals with family and family relationships in children's stories published in the Croatian children's magazine Radost, which is also used as a supplement to school material. Based on the selected stories, the presented family relationships are analyzed and families are classified with respect to the different types of families that occur in the stories. Reading stories about families to children provide the ability to identify with read, but also know about other families, by which children are raised and educated for tolerance and understanding.
