Many studious authors and try to arrive at a consensus, however this are a question that is far from being decided. For Wedge, Infanto-Youthful Literature is strict playful, not being necessary its pedagogical character, therefore many books of literature for children do not present this characteristic. For Ceclia Meireles, the sprouting of a new conception of infancy brings obtains a new concern, the necessity of moralizar the children. Thus being, Infanto-Youthful Literature appears with this intention, has then, a literature that if it destines to the children with the educational purpose. In this way, Infanto-Youthful Literature leaves of being a pastime and starts to occupy an important place in the education, being assumed a pedagogical character.
According to Killer, the literary compositions possess one meaning educative, that is, have a pedagogical definition, since the sprouting of literature is intrinsically on to the pedagogia. The educative meanings are not necessarily in didactic books, with broken up texts, them can be in a music, a part, a teatral romance, in an infantile book. Ahead of this ample quarrel concerning literature infantile is Rabbit (2000) that it defends that Infanto-Youthful Literature belongs in such a way to the literary art how much the pedagogical art, therefore if analyzed the old infantile texts, it perceives that: As object that provokes emotions, of the pleasure or it amuses e, above all, modifies the conscience of its reader, infanto-youthful literature is art. Under another aspect, as instrument manipulated for one educative intention, it if inscribes in the pedagogical area. (Rabbit, 2000. P. 46) In this context an enormous variety of types of literatures exists. It has some books that do not possess the pedagogical intention, however, when they are inserted in the classroom acquire two functions, to amuse and to teach. However, some books that possess only the pedagogical intention, with information, teachings and data, to if inserting in the pertaining to school environment finish not fulfilling the paper that was attributed to it, that it is to teach.
