the researcher recognized the great output of
story writer quantitatively and qualitatively as well as
his sincer love for children resonating in a series of
stories such as the encyclopedia "A thousand tales and
one" , "the most interesting folk tales" and seven other
books included in "the green library for children " .
This rich output counts him among the. pioneers of
children story writers , however he received little
critical attention which led to the present study . I
picked out from yacoub's library what corresponds
with the subject of the study ,; the values implied in the
text , the relation between values and our writer's
stories and their influence on children.
The study follows a comprehensive method
capable of including theother methods enquired the
writer handled the hero child in his stories from
various angles and from different social classes .
He presented to him various values ,I . e Love ,
peace , team work , and generosity so, the researcher
thought of studying the patterns of beauty is stories
with what they include of artistic elements , implied ,
values , and life styles in addition to relation of all
these elements to the contemporary Arab child
Accordingly , the researcher suggested a number
of questions whose answers are the aim of the study :
Could the story writer develop the thoughts and
emotions of the child ? was the hero child passive of
active ? did the patterns of value vary in the stories ?
did the values presented satisfy the needs of the
contemporary child ? did the story writer confine
himself to narration or did he depend on the hero child
supported with dialogue , description , dream and
monologue ? Before answering the above questions ,
the researcher defined the patterns of value as a
concept in children stories and the criterion of their
success from a critical perspective contributing to
children literature
