In my thesis I dealt with the issue of death in preschool, through the books by Felix Salt Bambi (1923), which served as a basis, and also studied Disney animated film Bambi (1942), and the cartoon Walt Disney's Bambi (1998). I decided on a problematic topic of death because I think that we don’t talk about it enough not only in our everyday lives but especially with preschool children. I compared the three selected pieces, for which I first researched youth literature and its genres, problem literature and cartoon or animated film. I also found it very important to investigate the motive of death in literature, to see in what forms it occurs, and comprehension of death, to make it easier to imagine, how to present death to children, so that they can better understand it. The three selected works are compared to each other through tables. Comparisons were made using quotes and pictures from the book, picture book and the animated film, and I have also added my own comments for better understanding. The last part is an analysis of all the provided information, presented through answers on research questions.
