Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study is to point out at some aspects of the poetics of detective texts in the selected translations of literature for children and young readers. The study is not an exhaustive analysis of the poetics in detective fiction for children, but it only indicates some of its aspects. In a diverse group of detective texts, we can discover some specifics that are typical just for children´s literature, as well as some features common with the poetics of crime fiction for adults. The issue of crime fiction for children and youth translated into Slovak language in the period from 1960s to 1980s is a part of the research grant project The World Literature for Children and Youth in the Slovak Translation since 1960.
