Both Gildor and an Elf of Rivendell imply that from their point of view they can't even tell Men and Hobbits apart. Gandalf's discussions class Big & Little Folk together as undifferentiated Mortals.
I'm pretty sure that Hobbits belong to the Younger Children, the Firimar: just a dwarfed sport of Men, like the African Pygmies.
