Title: Unsuitable for five-year-olds
Review: These stories were alternately confusing and uninteresting to my five-year-old boy. The language used in some of the stories was awkward. I'm guessing that those stories were either clumsily translated from another language or written by someone whose native language was not English.Many of the words were too advanced and the sentences too long. I'm not adverse to reading verbally challenging stories to my son, but judge for yourself in this example:"And there, too, were all the other tools of the sorcerer's trade: cauldrons and kettles, flagons and flasks, alantirs and ampulars, bubbling beakers and vapor-filled vessels -- and piles of phosphorescent stones ready to be pulverized into magic powders and potions."I, for one, have never heard of an alantir or a flagon.The pictures (pen and ink drawings) were sparse and not engaging.I don't think Alice Low had children. Or if she did, she'd forgotten what five-year-olds are like.
