      We have custody of two of my great nieces. They are ages 10 and 8 and are getting old enough that this is getting to be a question they present quite often. After reading it myself I would decide if it’s something I could use with educating them.

      I will share it with my 4 year old grandson and my newest grandson due in May 2017. Having 5 children, I read a lot of books to them and as they aged, they read to me using my inflections to add to the story.
