In addition to Souza and Feba (1998), Coelho (1991), Lajolo (1986), Zilberman (1986), Bettelheim (2009), Abramovich (2009) and Alves (2006) to support the discussion about literature and its importance in Education Childish. The research subjects were three pre-I teachers from the morning shift. A qualitative approach was used as a research strategy and a structured questionnaire with 6 subjective questions and a multiple-alternative question was used to collect data. The analysis of the answers given by the teachers was carried out from the thematic analysis. From the data it was possible to understand that, although the teachers were not clear about the theoretical sources used by them on a daily basis, it was noticed that they use different techniques when working with literature with children, such as: mini- theatre, playful toys , literary clothesline, etc., in addition to having a good understanding of the importance of literature for children's creative, social, emotional and cognitive development.
