[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read them out loud to my kid in 1st, 1 through to 7. But I love the books, have read them dozens of times myself, and was ready to talk about all the dark stuff with my kid. Also prepared to put the books away if he wasn't enjoying it. He begged for the next book each time we finished one. So I think it depends on the kid. But if you are reading out loud I wouldn't worry about it being too dark - you can process with him. Things in life ARE dark sometimes. I must say that having read those books gave me some language to talk to my kid with, some analogies to use, when we lost people we loved this year.[/quote] I was about to write pretty much the same thing. Just finished book 7 with my now third grader. She wasn't too scared, I think she knows it's fiction and I repeatedly had to tell her that there is a happy ending.[/quote]
