> renee--the missing piece and the missing piece meets the big O are 2 of my favorites. i used to work with juvenile delinquents (teens) who did their best to wear a tough facade, but i'd read them these stories and they would always ask for them again.
Juniper,
I used to read these to classes at school. They were of a low socioeconomic group, and not real used to the ideas of books as entertaionment. They would moan and groan when I would announce that I was going to read aloud both of the Missing Piece books. (They look like thick novels!) When they realized how fun they are(and short!) then they really loved them. There's nothing more satisfying to me than bringing reluctant readers and fantastic books together.
Renee N> would the little prince be considered a childrens book?
Yes, I believe so. I first read it in French class in high school.
