Erica
She is 5 at the beginning but 8 years old for most of the novel. The goat-herd boy is a little older. There are several nice references to the difficulties of learning to read.
I think you could read this to any child age 6+ yrs that likes the outdoors. A strong reading 6 to 7 yr old might read it themselves, or an average reading 8 to 9 yr old.
