Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.
Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.
I want you to understand this. I NEED you to understand this. My mother read me the hobbit as bedtime story, and I started pushing myself to read before pre-school so I could in fact read the hobbit for myself instead of having to wait for bedtime.
I didn't do so right away but jesus wept I PUSHED myself to learn to read SPECIFICALLY so I could read The Hobbit! It is, in fact, a children's story! And children only see page count as 'there is a lot of this fun story to read!'
I read the hobbit in about year 3, so I would have been 7 or 8. I was given it by a teacher who recognised that I had devoured almost every book in the school library. She's still on my Facebook now.
My punishment was never to be banned from watching the TV. It was to be stopped reading. That's how I was grounded. I had a secret stash of books under my bed and a torch so I could read even when I wasn't meant to.
