it depends on what you all mean by children's book. When did the majority of us actually read LOTR? I put it to you that most of us were Children at the time. So, to me, LOTR is also a Children's book. The only difference to me is that the Hobbit can be seen as meant for a slightly younger audience of children, for example those at their primary school.
We just need to ask if lotr is not a Children's book, then why did so many of us read it when we were young?
