This is a fun fantasy for children and makes for a good real-aloud (probably preferable, since some of the british-isms might be confusing for American children). There is nothing offensive, though there are some moments that might be mildly frightening to very young children. In addition to being entertaining, there are plenty of opportunities for parents to discuss the differences between the "good" characters and the "bad" ones and how those who are "good" and kind are happier.
Recommended for ages 8 - 12.
