The Hobbit

by J R R Tolkien

Lexile: 1000
Subjects: fantasy, adventure

I just gave this to my 6-year-old wondering whether he'd like it.

I barely saw him the rest of the day.

The Hobbit is a wonderfully elaborate tale of redemption, adventure, and self-exploration. Something resonated with him in this reading. I wondered if we should've read it together first, but he seemed to do well. I wouldn't have had him read it much before now (he's close to 7)
