Very true, Nancy. I remember an interaction with a young mother who asked me for "Winnie-the-Pooh for a three year old." When I handed her the original Milne, she said, "No, I wanted the version for a three year old." I realized she meant the Disney picture book version. I think she assumed that because the original was a chapter book, it would be too much for her three year old. What a pity.
