Task 25.2 does not allow books with the main page genre Children or Kids to be used. The Little Prince has the following genres on its main page:
GENRES
Sequential Art > Graphic Novels 71 users
Classics 50 users
Fiction 44 users
Sequential Art > Comics 36 users
Cultural > France 27 users
Fantasy 27 users
Childrens 21 users
Academic > School 14 users
Sequential Art > Bande Dessine 12 users
Young Adult 8 users




Please provide clarification as to what is the main page

I understood the main page to mean the first page of the listing without clicking on top shelves. If that is correct then "Children's" is not listed on the front page. I have just checked the main page for The Little Prince and it is not listed on the main page. In fact, it is not listed as children's until the 11th listing on top shelves.

This was the verification of the validity of this book for this task:

The Little Prince

For Option #2"

Thanks for asking about the book Wanda. I have contacted the mods and they do not see any reason why the book should not work. However, they asked me to remind you that they do not verify the "lack" of any genre, including children's, and neither should I. So if I set a precedent for it in my earlier post, please ignore.

If, by the time you post, the genre "Children's" has appeared on the book's main page, you will have to go through proper channels for verifying books with "Children's" as a GR genre, as explained in the general rules for posting. Please review those rules in the folder "The Rules" and the thread "Rules of the Challenge."


At the time of my posting and even now, children's is not listed on the main page. Why do we have genre verification if all the top shelves are included?

I really believe that this is a valid post.
