There are several definitions of the term tale; however, the dictionary describes the tale as “a literary folkloric and imaginary genre that generally narrates the experiences of individuals, animals, witches, genies, giants, fairies, etc. based on oral tradition” (TDK, 2021) . Tales improve children's imagination and allow them to have an idea about the real world and social values. Tales are ornamented with nursery rhymes, descriptions and idioms that extend the vocabulary and support the language development of children.  \nThe Anatolian region has hosted several civilizationsand transferred a rich cultural heritage. This cultural heritage is rich in fairy tales. Demiray (1996) wrote that  \n“the Anatolian land smells of fairy tales. Tales feed us on its mountains, plains and plateaus. We are fascinated by fairy tales in both villages and cities. As you pass by atomb, sip water at a spring, talk with a shepherd, or sit ina village room, you can see the flowers of fairy tales everywhere.”  \nThe tales that have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries have played a key role in the lives of children. Today, educators accepted that fairytales have significant contributions to the education of children, support their creativity and imagination, and affect learning the native language. The benefits and significance of fairy tales have been emphasized in the literature (Kirişçigil Doğan, 2012) . Tales create a social memory via symbols that mostly describe socio-cultural attributes, traditions, customs, moral and aesthetic values in society (Helimoğlu Yavuz, 2014) .  \nZelyurt and Gül 7  \nChildren's books significantly affect the development of children. Every child has the right to have a relationship with books, experience life with books, and perceive the books. Even the children who cannot read or experience speech impediments have this right. Children's literature not only supports language development in early childhood but also allow the child to improve selfknowledge, help the socialization of the child, acquire artistic and cultural","cbCaibV1SvFFRjJ4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibV1SvFFRjJ4","pdf",161060,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Fairy tales and early childhood development\n## Anatolian cultural heritage and fairy-tale tradition\n## Role of children’s literature in language and development\n## Anatolian Tales Project and its stages","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aimed to determine preschool teachers’ views on the Preschool Anatolian Tales textbook published by the Ministry of National Education.\"},{\"question\":\"What research method and data collection approach were used?\",\"answer\":\"A qualitative case study design was applied.
