Summary/Abstract: The focus of research in the field of literature for children and youth on objects results from post‑humanistic methodologies and brings about interesting results. Objects play different roles in children’s texts, just as they play different roles in the works of artists, for instance Tadeusz Kantor and Joanna Rajkowska. By interpreting literary texts and works of art, I try to show that the representations of objects from both areas are similar and can serve to the aim of children’s aesthetic education.
