        <description><![CDATA[But then again, I read and watched much worse when I was a child. Depends on the child really, some are developed enough to handle it and some aren't, most don't really understand any of it because society and parents try to wrap them in swaddling cloths until they magically become adults themselves.It seems to me that people nowadays spend more effort trying to keep kids from growing up and &quot;protecting them from the world's horrors&quot;, when their time would be better spent actually talking to their kids and helping them learn about life, the world, and imagination (light and dark sides).Talk to a kid, you may find out that they understand far more about the world around them than you give them credit for.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm a Dora fan. Grant you that a teen audience is not the same as a young adult audience (18+).The Hobbit ranks as 9th grade material, hence my suggestion of Ender's Game also 9th grade.Of the three books selected The Last Battle is the only one which is listed as suitable for grades 3 through 8 and might qualify as a &quot;childrens&quot; book with a crowd that would watch Dora...NOTE: Grade levels are US education system xlate to age in years by adding five.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Given how adult kids are commercially forced in to being now, I's make the distinction between children's novel and a novel suitable for 'erm young adults. MacCaffrey, Norton (Breed to come would be good choice), Cherryh (Finity's end?).All depends on what you want to say really, after all you wouldn't give the Original Grimm's fairy tails to a child would you?  You could make the Hobbit alarming without departing from story line as well.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[They don't have graphic sex scenes, and it's well known people have lovers. I was looking at the same sort of audience the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit are supposedly aimed at, which I was under the impression of as being the 12 and up group, year 7 onwards. But of you want to limit it to say ten years old and under, you would exclude Webber, but you'd also have to exclude Tolkien as well - and he was in the original list.A lot of the stuff I read in the first years of high school recognised the concept of lovers - especially the stuff by Shakespear.]]></description>
