Fictional children's literature provides knowledge and modes of understanding that allow teaching/learning of a subjective geographical approach to the real. This programme- article explores the fictional narrative characters and in particular the specificities of fictional children's literature (novels and picture books). Fictional narratives, as experiment in thought, offer readers possible worlds and worlds crossed between imagination and reality. The wide scope of children's literature gives the opportunity to discover a rich spatiality and geographicity. Three children's novels from L. Sepúlveda are analysed as an example ; they are pertinent as “realistic fiction” and as having a perspective of “marvellous realism”.
