The work is divided into two parts. The first part speaks about children's literature in general. Some main key concepts are explained here such as child, literature, and purpose, and whether there is a difference between the names -children's literature and literature for children. Also, children's literature genres have been explained, whether children's literature has an educational effect and how important educators are, furthermore, why child's encounters with literature begin with his/her first language activity – listening. The first part of the work ends with the recapitulation of the children's literature history, as well as the establishment of Christian sources in it. The second part of the paper includes elaboration, i.e. the topic, which are Croatian religious magazines and children stories. The Mali Koncil journal (MAK) is taken up for the analysis and its three publishing years: 1989./90.; 1996./97.; 2006./07. The children's stories in it were studied. Given that there are not many religious journals for childrenin Croatia, The Mali Koncil journal tries to compensate a need for children's religious content in youngest offering its rich content. Although we cannot talk about the richness of children's stories, they are both instructive and entertaining, also written in religious spirit. They do not make great breaks from reality and they do not distort it. Some common characters are animals that have human characteristics and of course biblical characters.
