Hi, I'm a new member of the listserve, a children's librarian in a public library on Long Island. Just a question, are there any other differences in the adult version or is the cover the only one?

I think another thing that ties adult and children's literature is the Fantasy genre. Harry Potter, Watership Down both fall in this category. I could be mistaken, because it seems as though Harry has been enjoyed across the board, but those that enjoy Fantasy may be more likely to pick up a book marketed toward a younger audience if it has elements that they enjoy, such as Authurian legend. There are so many authors and so many books, Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising series, Lois Lowry's the Giver, Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game that I have shared with other Fantasy lovers as my self in both directions(The Give to adults and Ender's Game to young teens) with much thanks. Those who are not willing to look at children's books because they feel they're past it or are above it really truly miss out
