ereks mom Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think books 1-3 are fine for ages 5-11, and 4-7 are appropriate for ages 12 & up. We did not allow them at all until our dc were teens, and then we read them aloud together as a family and discussed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elinnea Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My kids read all seven books. DS listened to the audio books when he was elementary age ( he was 8 when vol. 7 came out). They were never scared. They also never had trouble separating fantasy and reality. If there are nuances they did not catch the first time, they would catch them during one of the frequent re-readings (both have read, or listened to, the entire series multiple times by now. I am sure there are nuances in the classics that I did not catch while reading them as a teenager - rereading as an adult gives a different perspective. So, I tend not to worry about books. :iagree: My thoughts exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
