One of our local libraries (I have 2 because, although my mailing 
address is Charleston, I live in Dorchester County) has the books 
shelved with the adult fiction; they also have it in their children's 
section (several copies of each book, btw).  Our other library has it 
in the children's section.  Go figure.
