A picture book is the book that a child often encounters for the first time in his life. In my work I am primarily showing the importance of the picture book in the child's life and the characteristics that mark its quality. A quality picture book is characterised by the possibility for the child to identify with the story, enriches the child's speech, shows the harmony between the illustration and the text, stimulates the child's imagination and most importantly, it enables connection and love for the book. Problem picture books bring stories and illustrations that solve problem situations that children are dealing with. The topics they talk about are: emotions, personality traits and behaviour, relationships in family and society, cultural and hygienic habits and health. The importance of the mentioned topics is that they help not only the child, but also the kindergarten teachers and the child's family. The educator has an important role when it comes to reading, encouraging children to actively listen and solve problems, and an additional role is to make parents aware of the importance of reading and listening. The main goal of this work was to comprehensively investigate problem picture books and the topics they mark, to offer methodological aspects for their use and to show what role the teacher plays in their promotion. Problem picture books are divided into three topics: emotions, cultural and hygienic habits and personality traits. Each topic contains nine titles of problem picture books. In the end this paper will bring the short analysis of borrowing problem picture books in City Library and Reading Room Đakovo and the City and University Libraries of Osijek.
