There was a study of theories that would provide is to understand how child development and significance of literature as a resource. Was also revised the rules specific to Early Childhood Education, Law 9394 of December 20, 1996, which validated this as the initial step of basic education. We also sought to observe the children and the involvement that they have to work with children's literature through the project "Children's literature: Motivation in the formation of Readers", developed at the Municipal School Aminthas Mayor de Barros, in Belo Horizonte. The methodology emphasized an issue intrinsic to literature, and observation in a classroom. The data were collected, selected and discussed in light of the theory studied. This is justified in the desire to work with the theme "Children's literature" on the professional reality in which one experiences in schools today, because as a teacher regent preschool class perceives the great interest of the child to hear stories and browse through books of literature making their own readings before they are even literate.
