in Egypt contains different
tools including computers,
publications, information
services, and software
commodities such as:

education, communication,
libraries and others).
It also contains highly
qualified professional
teams that can control
economically active

This manpower achieves
its tasks and activities

services. This study
deals with present library
status in Egypt in general,
highlighting public
children, university

Arab
Children Book Culture:
Current Status, Challenges
and means for
Development
Dr. Muhammad Merai Merai-Syria
Abstract:
This research tries
to highlight the culture
of Arab children books
which can be distinguished
in its content from
children literature,
mainly which is concerned
with prose and poetry.
This shows the importance
and characteristics
of this culture. It
also shows the current
status of Arab children
books and the motivations
behind the publications
of such books and the
trends that enhance
them along with the
responsibilties of parents
and teachers to boost
this field.
However, publications
of children books are
committed to certain
standards, as long as
multiple factors should
define the contents
of thier components;
moreover, subjects should
necessarily suit the
stages of childhood.
Nevertheless, they should
take into consideration
the circumstances and
the characteristics
for each society.
Nowadays,children books
are facing massive obstacles,which
are imposed by competitor
medias, that aim to
gather the majority
of little spectators,
through attractively
providing audio-visual
programs that are accompanied
with sonic and harmonic
effects, as well as
colorful lines and pictures.
Finally,will Arab children
books be aware of those
challenges?. Or are
authors and writers
ready for such a mission?

we must give to our
children in kindergarten
since it greatly effects
the development of childrenÕs
personality and ability
of understanding by
introducing them to
many subjects either
through drawings or
learning and repetition.
This study also sheds
light on several subjects
such as the importance
of establishing a library
in each kindergarten,
and what it should contain
and the qualified personnel
who can work in them.
In addition to that,
a place must be devoted
