This is a very amusing book, lots of fun for children and the adults who might read it to them. However, your "age level" is incorrect. You state that the age level is 4-8. A 4-year old could not possibly read this book, and neither could any but a very bright eight-year old. This would be a good book to read to an early elementary child, but not for a child to solo read until third or fourth grade. There are a lot of old-fashioned words and phrases.

Billy Whiskers, An Autobiography of a Goat is a wonderful book that
still makes children giggle. I heard about this book as a child from my dad and was so glad to still be able to find a copy. I learned that it
was Robert Kennedy's childhood favorite book as it was my dad's.
I am sharing it as a storyteller. If you would like to take your children back to America 1900's and teach them about life then, this
fun story is a good one to share.

The old fasioned wording and phrases only helped to improve the vocabulary of my 10-year old child. It didn't take long before he got the feel for the longer sentences and how to read them. He thought it was great and wants to read the other books in the series. Very humorous and exciting!
