I "read" this with my four year old and we both are in love. We actually followed along in the book while listening to the audiobook read by David Tennet *swoon*. It was the first time I had read a book this way and it worked out really well. We were able to enjoy all the drawings and overall cool way the book is visually written but could just relax and let someone else remember to make all the voices for a change.

We both got completely sucked into this book; it's a fantastic story! It's full of adventure, it's imaginative, it made us laugh and had us sitting at he edge of our seat wondering what would happen next. We bought a box set of the series because we liked it that much.

I imagine my son would appreciate it even more if he was older, I think he missed some of the humor and some of the subtleties of the storyline. But he did understand what was going on and wanted to keep reading and reading. Admittedly we stayed up well passed his bed time a few nights in a row because neither of us had the willpower to stop reading. I'm sure this will be a series he will read again when he's older too.
