Summary/Abstract: This sketch is dedicated to the confrontation of the vocabulary used spontaneously by pre-school children with the lexis used by authors of contemporary theatrical plays addressed to the “young viewer”. Spontaneous vocabulary is contained in frequency dictionaries. The conclusions of the comparisons are addressed to authors of children’s literature, teachers and psychologists (psycholinguists). The main question asked at the end of the sketch is whether words used in literature are understandable to children.
