The genre features, the poetics of children's bylichka are revealed. The difference of children's bylichka from the one created by adults is seen in poetic borrowings from the fairy tale genre. That is where the property of the world duality is coming from that is built on binary relations, in turn, making up the ternary structure. Special attention is given to psychological aspects of performance and living of children's bylichka. The mythical-cultural world of children is disclosed that makes up a complex combination of consistent patterns of children's psyche and the specific perception of the outside world. The birth in the child's imagination of a scary story appears as a reaction to the ancient pagan fear of substances of the unreal world.
