There's nothing too crazy, but I don't think young kids will really appreciate all that's happening in the later stories - they're more complex as they go along. Plus, they get very long, so reading aloud will take a while anyway!Roof Beam Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792884580084363046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136900539811696458.post-22278981178928068522011-11-15T20:37:02.391-06:002011-11-15T20:37:02.391-06:00@roofbeamreader: Thanks for hosting!

From my understanding, the books start to get more mature and a little darker starting with Goblet of Fire, and I wasn't sure whether my kids would be ready for that just yet. We will play it by ear and see how it goes. Of course, I'm just chomping at the bit wanting to read the entire series! But I promised I would read the books WITH them, so mommy is just gonna have to wait!!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222625207655829945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136900539811696458.post-41175910650953484382011-11-15T20:29:54.660-06:002011-11-15T20:29:54.660-06:00Oh, my goodness!

Although, if you read the first three, you won't be able to stop (just warning you in advance!). <br /><br />Dracula, Jane Eyre, and The Hobbit are fantastic! I didn't enjoy Life of Pi or The Road as much, but they're certainly worth reading (and everyone has different opinions of these two books - so I'll be interested to see what you think!). <br /><br />Glad you're joining us this year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
