Watership Down is a children's book in the same way that Ender's Game was a children's book. Which is to say, they aren't, but enough people read it as kids/young adults that the demographics got confused.

Weirdly, I never see Moby Dick cited as a children's book, and all the high-achiever kids I knew in elementary school read it before the sixth grade. *shrug*

Ender's Game is solidly YA. Eventually, you're going to get old enough that wondering wtf is wrong with every adult in this universe is going to detract from Ender's story, but it wasn't written with elementary school kids in mind.

Moby Dick doesn't get cited as a children's book because it's boring as fuck. They make abridged versions of classic lit that are aimed at kids and lazy college students. Moby Dick has been given that treatment a few times over the years, because no child should be subjected to undiluted Melville.

Man, the only person I've met who has actually read Moby Dick all the way through is my dad, and he had to do it for a college course (and 40 years later he still complains about it if the subject comes up).
