I would recommend this book and the others in the series for children ages 4 - 12. I would still recommend the book because the story is lovely, I only wish that they would release a version that has a better narrator. I have the physical copy of these books and my daughter prefers it when I read them, but she will listen to these when she knows that I'm not up to reading them. Her voice is rather flat, and she just isn't the ideal narrator for these books. Ursula Le Guin writes both poetry and prose, and in various modes including childrens books, YA books, fantasy, science fiction and fiction. Le Guin is a great author, but not such an excellent narrator. I suppose their father was a fly-by-night. When this happens, I need a book that she likes but isn't so intense that it will keep her awake, and this book fits the bill perfectly. Mrs Jane Tabby could not explain why all four of her children had wings. I read to her every night, but there are nights that I am either too tired to read much or she doesn't fall asleep after two books. I was excited when I found these on Audible because not only did I was to revisit them, but I am always looking for books that my 4-year-old daughter will be interested in. I absolutely adored these books when I was little! I think they were the first chapter books that I ever read.
