This research aims to present an overview of the production of articles, dissertations and theses whose methodological instrument is based on children's drawings about animals. To this end, a bibliographic review was carried out in the area of ​​science education in the last 12 years. The criteria for selecting the studies were: research involving subjects from 3 to 11 years old; research whose methodological instrument was drawing; research in the area of ​​science with the aim of investigating the representation of animals by children. Then, the methodological resources, the research production spaces and how the children's representations in the drawings are analyzed were identified. Finally, it is considered that the authors were restricted to the observation of morphological aspects of animals and not to the cognitive and psychological aspects of children's drawing. The concept of representation is understood as a relationship of similarity between the morphological aspects of animals and the image that children present of them in the drawings.
