I actually only read a chapter or two of this to Colleen (age 7), AFTER she’d already devoured it in one sitting the night before. She literally didn’t speak a word to me after I surprised her with it on the bus ride home, read it while walking from the bus to our apartment, and continued reading it while she took off her shoes and continued into her room. We’ve requested the rest of the series from the library.

Definitely an uncomplicated children’s story.
