In that sense, the mentioned short prose is encouraging for the analysis from the viewpoint of literary animal studies as a relatively new post-humanistic discipline, which has only in the recent decades achieved affirmation. The objective of the paper is to study the way of representation of non-human animals and their role in the selected narratives. The analysis will also include moral and ethical issues, such as speciesism and empathy, having in mind a wider context of Croatian children¡¯s literature and interdisciplinary animalistic insights %K Josip Pavi£¿i£¿ %K children¡¯s short and long narrative prose %K Croatian children¡¯s literature %K literary animal studies %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=284729
