The theme of utopia as a land of plenty and idleness is an interesting indicator of the abundance of symbolic, cultural and economic values in modern Slovene childrenćs literature from 1980 to 2010. In these years Slovenia changed political and social systems a few times. In (Slovene) children's literature, via the theme of utopia, especially gastronomic utopia,there are expressed family, cultural and social values. The literary themes of utopia, anti-utopia and dystopia as extraliterary substance express the essential characteristics of time, space and culture.
