Lullabies are considered as a branch of popular literature and are also a subcategory of children literature due to paying attention to children and their issues. Furthermore, lullabies can be considered as the first child tune that has a long history since the genesis of humanity. The reflection of the political, cultural, religious, and social issues on lullabies in protracted centuries has been clear; this can be the main factor for the maintenance of the lullabies. The lullabies content changes based on the issues of each age has caused the foundation of a suitable base for being aware of the dominated issues in the time of this sub-genre for that the social issues are not exceptional. The appearance of social issues in new lullabies, of which the poets take the control, is more than the old lullabies that the mothers had to sing. This has intensified the necessity to analyze the reflection of social issues on new lullabies. This study aims to socially investigate the lullabies of current age through a descriptive-analytic approach and to analyze the resulting effects on the lullabies content.

The most popular type of stories among young adults are realistic stories followed by fantasy. Female students are mostly fan of romance, while male students tend to read crime.

Translation of children and adolescents’ literary text is a form of translation with its special features and difficulties. Studies have shown that despite the general concept, translating children and adolescents books require a professional translator. A kind of translator who knows about child psychology, understand the language development stages of these age ranges, as well as having an awareness of culture differences of target languages. Authors of this study tried to compare the “ Al-Hekayat al-Nakhlah al-Khazra” , a collection of stories, with its Farsi translation by descriptive analytical method to elaborate the difficulties of children books’ translation from Arabic to Farsi. Bringing some examples of this collection, this research studies and analyzes the necessities of children stories’ translation based on viewpoints of theoreticians including Otnin, Kelinberg and Dahl.

The Little Black Fish by Samad Behrangi is one of the books that has a special place in the history of children and adolescent literature. Reza Rahgozar (Mohammad Reza Sarshar) considers this book to have no metaphorical meaning because black color does not have any revolutionary connotation. In this article, some features of hermeneutics theory are applied to understand the meaning of black. To this end, the meaning of black in a picture of a fictional poem and three articles are explored. It is argued that anti-colonial liberation revolutions, especially in Africa, which were taking place at the same time, have been the focus of attention among Iranian intellectuals of the time. Prior to the Islamic Revolution, the color black signified revolution and resistance to colonialism and despotism. Hence, the use of black in this story has its own metaphorical meaning. Discussing the relationship between metaphorical story and children's literature, it is concluded that several reference books for children and adolescents must reconsider and revise what they have presented in this respect.
