Title: Only for Small Children
Review: Some people have said that this book is for adults as well as children, but that definitely isn't the case here. Some books are classified as children's or young adults' (e.g. His Dark Materials; The EarthSea series;) which are really for adults. Some other series for children can also be enjoyed by adults, eg Wrinkle in Time. But this book is really only good for children. Most adults won't even enjoy it, unless they like reading children's books to get them in a nostalgic mood. The concepts are presented in a simple fashion, the language is also very plain, characterization is at a minimum and the plot isn't too complicated. This reminded me of Watership Down, but at a much simpler level. A good read for a young child (around 9 yrs old or less), maybe; but I didn't like it much.
