I would liken LotR to Huck Finn. To the child Huck Finn is a wonderful adventure story, but to the adult it is a story tinged with satire and other meanings. Like this LotR is, wait, LotR is an adventure story to the adult too. Heheh [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

If they can hold an intelligible conversation with someone then I think they are already beyond the age that a book like LotR would be enjoyable and understandable to them.
