Children's literature is regarded as the fundamental cornerstone that children depend on for their language and intellectual growth, whether through personal learning or as part of school programmes that incorporate this literary form. This is because of the linguistic resources it offers, which are within the child's cognitive capabilities and intellectual development. Hence, our discourse will initially focus on the essence of children's literature and thereafter evaluate the appropriateness of children's literature compilations in Algeria as educational materials targeted towards children/students at different academic stages. After conducting thorough investigation, we have chosen specific poems from the anthology "The Garden of Angels" authored by the Algerian poet Salah Eddine Bawiya. These writings are originally lyrical texts intended for a young audience. During our presentation, we will focus on the key attributes of the texts from "The Garden of Angels" and analyse a selection of these texts to evaluate their suitability for students at different educational stages, with a specific emphasis on the middle school level as defined by the Algerian educational curricula.
