Got kids that read now.. what's a good age to get kids started on Dragonlance first 3 books?

[Mallus]

About the same age you get them started on cigarettes.


(how about giving the kids Leguin's A Wizard of Earthsea instead?)

I read them at 13. I got them for my 12 year old nephew for his birthday last summer. He enjoyed them.

I started them at 13 as well... of course that's when they were being written.

Depending on the kid maybe as early as 10ish. How old are the children in question?

 

[Ranger REG]

About as young as 10-11 years.

 

[Klaus]

About as young as 10-11 years.

What he said.

 

[BadMojo]

About the same age you get them started on cigarettes.

Four?

Errr, anyway, I'm too old to have started with Dragonlance as my first fantasy books, but I'm pretty sure I read Lloyd Alexander's books, then moved to Brook's Shanara books and finally Dragonlance when I was about 10 or 11.

I didn't have any problem reading them at that age and enjoyed them more than Terry Brooks's Shanara stuff.

Old thread, I know.

I was online looking to buy new copies of Chronicles for myself and saw that there are 'young reader' versions of the stories. Not sure just how young but might be something to look into.

The Sovereign Press online store also sells a set of all six for $32.00.
