As per definition books less than 50 pages are actually not called books but PAMPHLETS. But in school for small children we have most number of books with less than 50 pages. So should we count them as books while giving status to CBSE.

Dear Professionals, 

I also want the answer for the same.

Manavta Jugeshh

A pamphlet is an unbound booklet (that is, without a hard cover or binding). It may consist of a single sheet of paper that is printed on both sides and folded in half, in thirds, or in fourths (called a leaflet), or it may consist of a few pages that are folded in half and saddle stapled at the crease to make a simple book.

In order to count as a pamphlet, UNESCO requires a publication (other than a periodical) to have "at least 5 but not more than 48 pages exclusive of the cover pages"; a longer item is a book..

A book is a set of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of ink, paper, parchment, or other materials, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. A set of text-filled or illustrated pages produced in electronic format is known as an electronic book (e-book).

Books may also refer to works of literature, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature. In novels and sometimes other types of books (for example, biographies), a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, and so on). A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile or, more informally, a bookworm — an avid reader of books.

but the question is still unanswered..........shall we count children's books as proper book or pamphlets?

The question is very valid.  Going by the definition of the term "pamphlets", anything that is less than or equal to 48 pages should be treated as pamphlets.  

What I feel is, firstly, pamphlets are usually printed with the intention of distribution.  Secondly, the contents of pamphlets are different from that of a book.  Thirdly, books normally have a publisher while pamphlets don't.

Therefore, it should not be too difficult to distinguish books from pamphlets even if the total pages are less than 48.

Hence, Ms Priyanka, I opine you should treat your collections as books and not as pamphlets.

Thanks MR. Siddu but one thing is it is clearly mentioned in CBSE guideline that books should have atleast 50 pages and secondary books with 10 pages and costing Rs. 10-15 are only in library to increase the number but actually though they are counted as books butnot consider as books.
