Special attention is paid to the specifics of working with children on the ideal content of the studied works, on the characterization of images of positive and negative characters. Having learned to subtly feel the depth of an artistic word, memorizing and reproducing favorite episodes, children penetrate into the inner world of the characters, evaluate their personal qualities, moral appearance, which contributes to enriching the horizons of preschoolers, their personal experience, expanding the possibility of cognition of the surrounding world and socialization in it. It is concluded that purposeful and systematic acquaintance of children with works of fiction is a perfect base for organizing educational interaction with them both in the conditions of an educational institution and among family.
