Animal tales and Fables
The category prefaces should say more about the distinctions among categories Fables, Animal tales, and Novels about animals including its presumably subset Children's novels about animals.
For example: Fables are folklore; Animal tales are literature other than novels (short fiction primarily?), without regard to the audience.
- But Category:Animal tales, whose preface is simply "See also: Category:Fables and Category:Novels about animals", is tagged with talk banner {{WP Children's lit}} only. --P64 (talk) 02:35, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
By the way and offhand, I suppose these distinctions are not so imporatant as to distinguish realistic fiction featuring animals (purposefully realistic although naturalists may dispute the success) from fiction with anthropomorphic animal characters. --P64 (talk) 02:32, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
