This collection of stories is terribly sexist as is the "Boys will be Boys" series. These classics have remained so because of their universal appeal and B&N is doing them a terrible injustice by pigeon-holing them into sex-specific categories.

Wow, this will be news to my son, whose all time favourite book at age 7 is The Secret Garden--and how is Alice and Wonderland a "girls" book exactly? Is this just because the protagonist is female? And Peter Pan? This is a great collection of books, but I am stunned to see it categorized as a " girls" collection. I guess the Hobbit would be a " boys" book because most of its main characters are male?? Good grief...

Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz, and The Secret Garden are some of my favourite stories of all time - and i'm male. It is truly appalling (and damaging) to suggest that the wisdom and insight found in these books is suited exclusively for girls. Let's not dictate to children what they should like and dislike simply because of their sex but rather let them decide for themselves.
