We were going to read them something close to one a year&#8212;she was clearly ready for the first one by her seventh birthday, but I don&#8217;t think she will really be ready to enjoy the fourth one for another year or two, I&#8217;m guessing, and I don&#8217;t know that we will ever want to read her the fifth one. You know, because it was unpleasant and bad (albeit with quite a lot of good stuff in it as well, mixed in).\n<p>Anyway, YHB was wondering if <a href=\"http:\/\/bookwizard.scholastic.com\/tbw\/viewWorkDetail.do?workId=2745&amp;\">Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban<\/a> was appropriate to my PN-R, or would be appropriate in the summer, when we get that far. So I picked it up and reread it, mostly expecting to skim through for appropriatositiageness, and wound up absorbed. It really is a good, good book. I still think the first one is my favorite of the series, unsurprisingly, but the third is a strong contender. And I think it will be fun to read, not too dark (or too nudgy) and only scary in appropriate measure. At least, that&#8217;s what I think now. If it turns out to be a regrettable decision, well, it&#8217;s probably still better than her picking it up on the streets, right?\n<p><I>Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Which Your Humble Blogger thinks the kid is ready for the next round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[194],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-report"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12837"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19030,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12837\/revisions\/19030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
