My boys loved this book. I read it aloud to my 6yr old. He thought it was great and understood what was going on in the story. My 8yr read it by himself and also very much enjoyed it. He kept wanting to read the funny parts to me, which where quite frequent! Some of the tongue-in-cheek humor was lost on them, but most of it was not. The artwork throughout the book was also a hit. As a parent, I liked the lessons Prince Harry learned along the way, and that the villians are not too scary. Overall, it was a fun book to read aloud or individually.
