The children world was not recognized by elders once upon a time, but it gets its own place and literature these days. We still have pieces which cannot be defined whether they belong to children or adults, nevertheless. So,we encounter approaches that divide this type of literature into 3 categories:
1. Literature peculiar to adults which contains no childish elements and refers to adults.
2.Literature peculiar to children which has been written with a perfect childish point of view and utilization of the main features of childish pieces.
3.Childish façade literature which has an adult point of view, but some other elements are related to children.
Multi-layer cogitation and innovation is another specification dedicated to this literature. These pieces are the border between childish and adult literature. So, they are called border literature.
This literature which we discuss in this research, has been faced with a huge wave of different theories in the last two decades. For instance, Shahram Eghbalzadeh, Ali Asghar Seyed Abadi, Peter Hunt, Aiden Chambers, Jaklin Roz, Barbara Wall.
This research is done in the form of theoretical study with the descriptive-analytical method, which is based on the secondary research. The first purpose of this research is reviewing transition literature characteristics and the second purpose is introducing and analyzing some Iranian and foreign pieces which are well-known in this scope.
In order to explain the levels of discussion, relationship structure of literature, psychological transformation of the child and the definition of childish literature have been taken into account after defining keywords. The discussion is ended by introducing the bibliographical characteristics of some Iranian and foreign pieces and stating the specifications of this genre. The attempt was made in this way to analyze quartet pieces from comparative comparison point of view in addition to general literary criticism based on borderline writings characteristics.
