kindergartens in the center of Kastamonu province. A Personal Information
Form and an Interview Form were used to collect data. In the research, of the
qualitative research methods, a descriptive analysis method was used. The percentage
of the responses of the parents was given quantitatively and they were
commented on. As a result of the analysis of the data of the research, it was
found that the parents bought their children children’s books especially at the
age of four or five, they did not usually take the size and weight of the book into
consideration, but they paid attention to especially the age group, authors and
publishers. Furthermore, the parents expressed that the most important criteria
was which age group children’s books should address. However, they stated
the price and durability of children’s books as the last two criteria. While the
parents who took part in the research usually defended that children’s books
should be instructive and didactic, they stated that books should address especially
children’s interests and needs while developing their imagination.
