The Pied Piper of Hamelin

Rating

Great book, but aimed at much older kids.

It's really well written. The art is amazing, fascinating, but it's too long and wordy, and the ideas that it deals with are a little beyond the understanding of most children. A lot of other reviews say they're not really sure who it's for, adults or children. I think it's for adults, or perhaps older children at a higher reading level.

It's basically a graphic novel. The pictures are great. The direction that he takes with the story is just really fascinating, but it's definitely not aimed at little enough kids that you would read to. It's a good book, but not really for the target audience I review books for. I don't think they would understand it, but it wouldn't warp their fragile little minds or anything.
