Abstract :The aim of this study is to evaluate the fairy tale of Ahmet Umit's Olmayan Ülke according to the criteria of children's literature and to determine its readability. A case study was carried out under qualitative research. Document analysis was used as data collection tool. The data of the study were obtained with a pre-established scale. The data obtained have been systematically and explicitly described, interpreted, and some results have been obtained within the cause-and-effect framework. In this study, Olmayan Ülke was examined with 23 criteria for visiual properties and with 34 criteria for content properties. The arithmetic average obtained by dividing the scores given to the book by the scale related to visual properties into the number of items (100: 22 = 4,54) is 4.54. The arithmetic mean of the content properties of the book divided by the number of items (158: 34 = 4.64) given to the scale is 4.64. In this direction, it was seen that Ahmet Ümit's tale“Olmayan Ülke” was suitable for the criteria of children's literature. In this context, it is suggested that this work should be read by teachers at school and by parents at home for children 9 years and over.
