I need peoples opinion on what age group Farmer Giles of Ham could first be read to.

I read to a class of third graders each month and I'm thinking about asking the teacher if I can read to the kids the story Farmer Giles of Ham, and if I could come in once a week until it is finished... The problem is, I don't know if the kids would understand or appreciate the story.

What do you think the youngest age could be for a kid to be read Farmer Giles of Ham?

I think the kids in the class are about 8? 7 or 8, I really don't know.
