The aim has been to find whether the texts help to contribute to the development of intercultural skills to enable them to be used as a resource for intercultural education. To this end, it was imperative to compile a list of criteria to apply to children's literature and thus ascertain which of the texts met the requirements. The present research ther efore involves selecting a corpus of children's literature, devising criteria for analysis, applying the criteria to the corpus and drawing conclusions.
