Starting from the fact that it is important to choose the text that will be child-friendly for performing the puppet play, when adapting and dramatizing a particular text, the educator must be very creative and skilled. This work will present the scenic realizations of Luko Paljetak's work for children. As the author himself was aware of the importance of puppet art and its positive effects on the child's full development, the paper will emphasize the importance of involving the child in the process of creating a puppet show, which must not be forgotten even in the skills of a puppet animator. The paper also analyzes the literary opus for children of Luko Paljetak and his important role in the creation of contemporary poetry in Croatian literature. The main features of his poetry will be illustrated in the examples from the collection of songs "Mice and Cats Superscript". The author in his collections of songs for children characters anthropomorphizes and puts them into situations where people find themselves on a daily basis. Creating neologisms, using jargonism and colloquialism, gives the poem a sense of humor and a blend of modernity. Because of the ease of reading and the humor itself that benefits children, their works can be offered because they gladly accept them.
