Özet
The study was conducted to examine the characteristics of detective characters in children’s books and their potential impact on literacy development. A document analysis design was employed in the study. To ensure data diversity, 38 books authored by 26 different writers were selected for examination. While selecting the books that constitute the dataset, attention was given to selecting different publishers and authors and ensuring that each book includes a “detective character” in its content. The data obtained from the examination of the books regarding detective characters were categorized into positive characteristics, negative characteristics, conflict resolution methods, physical attributes, interactions with the environment, personal preferences, and their contribution to fostering literacy skills. According to the findings of the study, detective characters were prominently portrayed with positive attributes, which can engage young readers and support the development of literacy by encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and reading for pleasure.
