Abstract Indonesian language teaching has been developed based on the character-building approach. One effort made to develop and instill the character-building values to students is by optimizing a literary appreciation through fairy-tales in the learning process at school. The character-building values integrated in the fairy-tale textbooks are stated in the material content presentation and learning activities. However, the textbooks used in the learning activities have not completely provided the character-building values. This research is aimed to describe character-building values contained in the Indonesian fairy-tale textbooks for junior high school students. The data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, and document analysis. The method research was descriptive qualitative. The data validation test used triangulation test. The data analysis technique used interactive data analysis. The result of the study showed that the textbooks used by junior high teachers have not completely provided character-building values in the fairy-tale appreciation materials.
