I haven't read the Scarlet Letter for a few years, but remember thinking it was alright...lol well all the child will really notice is the tone of your voice, so why not?? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I'm trying to remember when I first read the Hobbit and LOTR-I'm fairly sure the hobbit was over six years ago. I've always been mad about books-or a "prolific reader".
My cousin is thirteen and just started LOTR-I think she'll understand the plot but some of the themes and undertones may be lost
