My four-year-old does enjoy this story, but I'm pretty sure she's missing out on some of the elements the author has included. It would likely be better for an older audience. The details in the pictures are spectacular and the way Mr. Joyce immerses the reader in the world of the Man in the Moon is masterful. I thoroughly enjoy the book each time I read it. Spoiler alert: there is a decently scary portion of the book where main characters die/are eliminated from the plot line. So do read first and consider how little kids will handle that. It's not gruesome, just something that might tap into kids' intrinsic fears.
