Watership Down is classified as children's literature but the book can be found under the fiction section at a bookstore. I personally think that Watership Down is not a child's book but it is a fictional book. Due to the book's main characters being rabbits, it has been classified as children's literature. Just because the book is about rabbits that does not mean that it's not mature enough for adults. The concepts of the story seem as if they would be too confusing for a child to understand. The violence in the story isn't something that children should be exposed to. Also the reading might be too difficult for a child. This book just shouldn't be directed towards children.
The characteristics of this story do not fit into children's literature. Children's literature should be humorous and funny...
