Abstract
The essay outlines children's literature at the turn of the xix c. as regards animal characters and the ways in which they contribute to the child's growth and the discovery of gender identity. When Romantic views of nature clash against Darwin's theory, the representation of animals undergoes significant transformations, ultimately unmasking gender issues previously not present in children's literature.
