Abstract

Current research shows that ecological education is based on a certain value system: understanding the uniqueness and intrinsic value of nature on the basis of ecological knowledge, the importance of the valuable relation to nature, the awareness of each person’s responsibility for the preservation of life on the planet. These postulates help to form elements of ecological culture of preschoolers. Currently, the issue of using natural history literature in ecological education of preschool children is not covered in theoretical and methodological literature. This article quotes the works of children’s writers who most clearly characterize this position.
