Hi Judy,

Yes, I would consider it as fantasy, but the problem on Bookshare is that they 
class fantasy with science fiction, and I wouldn’t consider fairy tales science 
fiction. So I would probably leave that classification off. Bookshare needs to 
update and expand the categories.

Any thoughts about how to classify a book as to type if it is a child's fairy 
tale? It's obviously a children's book, and it's literature and fiction, but 
would you consider a fairy tale, like Little Red Riding Hood, a fantasy novel 
as well?
