Los niños tontos is a collection of 21 stories written by Ana María Matute and illustrated by Javier Olivares. Published by Media Vaca, this book presents short stories that explore themes such as death and cruelty through marginalized child characters. Although starring children, these stories are not conventional children's literature, as they address the marginalization of the adult and child world, physical deformity, illness, and social class differences.

The third woman to receive the Cervantes Prize for her literary oeuvre, she is considered one of the foremost novelists of the posguerra, the period immediately following the Spanish Civil War.
