TABERNERO SALA, Rosa  and  NOGUES BRUNO, María Pilar. The Curious Reader between Papers and Screens. Nonfictional Readings of Fiction Illustrated Books. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2023, n.89, pp.298-319.  Epub Mar 08, 2024. ISSN 0120-3916.  https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num89-17429.

In the context of the digital society, the reading ecosystem is changing at all levels, and it presents new challenges in training readers (Wolf, 2020). In this sense, it is interesting to analyse the construction procedures of illustrated books and picture albums to determine the key elements to define a reader today (Goga et al., 2018; Grilli, 2020; Tabernero-Sala et al., 2022). To this end, this research article intends to identify the hybridisation of fictional and non-fictional readings in children's books as one of the axes along which the reading mode evolves within the parameters of the 21st-century education context. Based on the reading keys proposed by the non-fiction picture book in the new reading ecosystem, we selected three fictional picture albums for analysis: Mexique. El nombre del barco by M. J. Ferrada & A. Penyas (Libros del Zorro Rojo, 2017); Onsen ¿Qué hacen los monos? by Pato Mena (A buen paso, 2021); and Dos ositos by Ylla (Kalandraka, 2021). This study focuses on hybridity as a discourse construction procedure and defining the factors that propose a curious reader, which is essential in the new reading modes. The conclusions identify a new model of child reader who combines fictional and non-fictional readings, recovering the classic Horatian "instruct while delighting" as a sign of identity.

Keywords : curious reader; illustrated non-fiction book; fictional album; hybridity; digital society.
