Abstract

One of the reasons for the decline in children^s reading interest in reading materials both fiction and non-fiction is technological advances. Children prefer to play devices as a mobile phone, even though in reading books there are many lessons, including the values contained in the reading. The method in this research uses qualitative descriptive, which is a method that emphasizes data description in the form of sentence phrases contained in the object of research and not in the form of numbers. This research analyzes the theme, background flow and characterizations in children^s reading entitled ^Collection of Smart Children^s Stories^. The results showed that children^s reading books contained themes that could be observed from the story titles that were conveyed in a straightforward manner, single plot and real setting.
