Yes and no. The Twelve Minor Prophets are twelve small books in the Hebrew Bible but are counted as one book. The Hebrew Bible has 24 books; and the Twelve Minor Prophets are one of the 24 (not twelve of them). You will find them in the Nevi'im (Prophets), the second section of the Tanakh. The Hebrew Bible, referred to as the Tanakh, consists of 3 parts; The Torah, the Nevi'im and the Ketuvim. The Torah consists of Genesis, Exodux, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The Nevi'im consists of Joshua, Judges, I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the 12 minor prophets. The Ketuvim consists of Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah and I & II Chronicles. The Hebrew text of the Tanakh is often called The Masoretic Text (masorah means tradition).
Why are books in Bible from Hosea to Malaci called minor prophets?
"Minor" in this case refers to the length of their books, it has nothing to do with their importance. In fact, it doesn't actually refer to the prophet (the person) but to the prophetic book that bears their name. In the Hebrew Bible there were twelve smaller books bundled as one called the "Twelve". The Christian Bible presents these twelve as separate books and calls them the "Minor Prophets". The longer prophetic books of the Old Testament are called "Major Prophets" and are considerably more lengthy writings. The concept of major and minor prophets is Christian and is not a concept used by Jews.

What is different between major and minor prophets?
The distinction between major prophet and minor prophet with respect to the Old Testament and Hebrew scripture is not necessarily intuitive. The minor prophets refer to a collection of writing of 12 prophets in a single book in the Hebrew scripture but broken into separate books in the Christian Old Testament (Hoseato Malachi). Major Prophet describes the longer books of prophecies in The Bible whose name matches the prophet it describes namely Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel.Elijah and Elisha would be considered in the top ten of prophets yet they are not "Major" prophets because their record is found in books of 1 and 2 Kings rather than in the prophetic writings. So the terms "major" and "minor" in this context refers to two groups of books and does not signify their importance.

How many minor prophets books in the Old Testament?
The difference between a "major prophet" and a "minor prophet" is their scope, not their significance. The "minor prophets" in the Bible see only the events that are coming to the "specific nation" they are assigned to. The "major prophets" see events coming upon not only their nation "but the nations of the world---world events. http://www.faithwriters.com/article-details.php?id=35862 Zehaniah, a 'minor' prophet says in 3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," declares the LORD, "For the day when I rise up as a witness. Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All My burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of My zeal. Seems to me he is addressing 'the nations f the world' but is a 'minor' prophets. **The initial difference written above is inaccurate, because how do you explain Joel's prophecy about the Holyghost in Joel 2:28, 29? And Joel is considered a minor prophet. So I will stick with the difference being in the length of their prophecies.
