Title : Charlotte's Web
Author: E.B. White
Ages : 9-12
This one is too old for my kids. I don't remember it that well from my childhood, so I read it recently to see if I thought my sons would enjoy it. I knew it was beyond my oldest child's reading level, but I thought it might make a good read-aloud. (Typically kids can understand and enjoy books that are read to them several grade-levels higher than they can actually read themselves.)
In this case, I felt like the content was a bit too much for my kids (ages 4 and 6). It is pretty deep and also very sad in ways. It is a cute book and I look forward to sharing it with them later.

I used to love this book as a child. I agree that your kids are probably a little too young at the moment. I recently read it to my eldest son and he enjoyed it.
Lovely blog you have here by the way.
