I am reading through this to my 7yo. She is loving it, and after the slow opening she is totally engaged with the narrative and fun characters. Chapter 5, I think (the cave and ring) was a huge stand out. I have been waiting years to read this with her and have been loving it.

Oh side note. I have two copies of the text, a large copy with illustrations and old basic text one. She loves to read the small, old text along with me and she will read lines, songs or other parts as I read the main narrative. She is a very strong reader and has loved being part of the storytelling.
