I saw the picture as a child or teen (can't remember) and liked it. Would this be appropriate to be readen out loud to a 5 year old? My son enjoys chapter books, but I'm not sure if this book is ok for a preschooler or if it's better to read it by the child himself later.

Mrs. Smith It is probably better for an eight to twelve year old.
