This book is appropriate for 8-10 year olds, do to the fact that in elementary school I read this story to help master my reading.
Honestly, I did not enjoy readying this. I always hated reading time, and as this was mixed with other books to read during this time, I hate it with a burning passion. Doesn't mean I won't read it, though.
