Summary/Abstract: History education, which has an important place in throwing solid bridges from the past to the future, helps us first to understand what an individual is or is not. Individuals, then societies, will suffer if they are not taught and liked by the generations of the technology, equipped with the virtual world and forgetting about themselves. Knowing the history of their ancestors and knowing how they struggle for the sake of their homeland will understand the importance of values that the child has. Children’s books dissolve the knowledge they want to give to children in the world of fiction, shape them by being faithful to them and transform them into works of art by feeding them with aesthetic elements. The child learns uncomfortably on this. Children’s books on history are also important at this point. A Dream prepared for children how do the books in the Ottoman series tell about Osmanlı? Are these books boring or teaching the child at a level and funny style? Within the scope of the research, a Dream written by Doğan Yıldız and published by Model Çocuk Publications Ten books in Bir Rüya Bir Osmanlı series were searched for the answers to the above questions, the results were found, and suggestions were made in the direction of the obtained results.
