I re-read it for the first time in years for the book clubs here - last year? the year before? And even as a kid I recognised how much it referenced history. But re-reading it I kind of experienced it with an adult's understanding. It can be read by all ages, which is the definition of a good book to me.

Yeah, I think some people think anything that can be read by children is a "children's book" - like those designations are equivalent to movie ratings where "children's book" is like a G or PG rating and "adult fiction" (which is just regular fiction) is R-rated. But there are plenty of regular fiction books that can be read by children and are perfectly appropriate, but they aren't just for children and irrelevant to adults.

(not that I think all actual children's books are irrelevant to adults, but some people see it that way)

I know people who liked Watership Down as kids and I know people who read it for the first time when they were old and liked it.

This!

I loved the book the first time I read it (I was 12). I loved it so much that I read it no less than three times between the ages of 12 and 14.

I recently bought the book and re-read it as an adult and it was like reading a whole new book. And guess what? I loved this whole new book, too.

It truly is a good book that really does seem to just "fit" in with whatever age level you're at.
