Sažetak
A picture book, as the first book in a child's life, contributes in numerous aspects to their development and the adoption of educational values. A picture book with ecological content is the richest source of written words a child can encounter in early childhood, through which they learn about ecological educational values and the importance of environmental preservation in a fun and educational way. The aim of this study was to present the results of research conducted on a sample of 141 educators and 120 parents in Croatia, whose children attend kindergarten, in order to gain insight into their attitudes regarding the frequency and role of reading picture books with ecological content to preschool-aged children. Furthermore, in a broader sense, the goal of the study was to present the role of picture books with ecological content in promoting ecological education and values, as well as their impact on the development of ecological awareness in preschool children. The research results showed that educators believe they are sufficiently familiar with global and ecological issues, and the majority of parents believe that educators in kindergartens encourage the development of ecological awareness in children, a viewpoint that educators largely share to a significant statistical degree. This study highlights the importance of picture books with ecological content and their reading to preschool children in kindergarten and the family environment.
