thepie-maker: miakosamuio: staticstart: These books are totally too big for six year olds. I didn’t even like it (at first) when I read it when I was eight. That’s not to say that I decide all things six year olds like but I mean, they wouldn’t have understood a word of it. My sister is six and she’s read chapters of PS before.

I don’t think it’s ~that difficult to understand anyway … Sorry, but I was five when I was reading chapters on my own. And yes, I did understand them easily. They’re written for kids, and if you loved to read and were reading on your own, I know it’s definitely possible to read them at a young age.
