I think my 12 year old daughter would have no problem reading them herself but I am going to read them to Tom and Amelia (aged 9 and 8). Tom would probably be able to read them himself but I think he would probably see them as a bit of a girly book and not really desire to read them himself. They like me reading to them thoughTheresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866840456840793793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33193969.post-22148451492567159472009-07-11T13:54:51.236+09:302009-07-11T13:54:51.236+09:30Hi Therese,

I always felt like I totally understood her, and imagined her living in my neighborhood. Also adored the Little House books and finally just got my own set.
