If my only concern were potential nightmares, then I would have no problem taking my 4-year-old twins. This 6 page movie guide with handouts accompanies the film "Matilda (1996)".

April 2017 (9) October 2010 (10) Matilda is an incredibly intelligent but lonely little girl in love with books and learning, who is unfortunately cursed with two coarse, dim-witted TV-addicted parents, Harry (DeVito) and Zinnia Wormwood (DeVito’s real-life wife Perlman). November 2019 (13) Of course, I was willing to read the books out loud to them, which means they can enjoy books way beyond their own reading level. This is solidified by the UK rating of Parental Guidance (‘should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older’), a marked difference to the 1950s cartoon version which is a U (‘should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over’). April 2012 (9) In a previous post on this book, I made a brief reference to having given a copy of Carroll’s book to my nephew. I think, as you’ve said, it depends on the child. Please note, as this is a peer-to-peer discussion board, Netmums has not checked the qualifications of anyone posting here. Whilst Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, the first of the two about Wonderland, does not state Alice’s age – though we can make an informed estimate due to John Tenniel’s illustrations – the sequel, Through The Looking-Glass, gives Alice’s age as 7. If you like this, why not try: December 2018 (4) February 2017 (11) September 2013 (13) May 2014 (12) September 2018 (10) Hi! How many presents do you buy for your children.

October 2016 (14) April 2013 (14) It wouldn’t be wrong to say that, in conjunction with the second novel, seven is a fair age, but there is enough to consider to make eight, or even nine, perhaps, a good option. The Les Miserables age guidance suggests that it is suitable for children age 8 plus. September 2019 (9) Then of course there’s the whole debate about whether books should be changed to appeal to more modern sensibilities. Children today are bewildered and sometimes frightened by the nightmarish atmosphere of Alice’s dreams.

In the director’s chair, DeVito keeps the action tight, never allowing the film to be overwhelmed by too many special effects or exaggerated performances. March 2020 (3) The Present Past History Series May 2010 (12) Review Database :p, It brings to mind a recent debate; the topic of which was should books be given an age rating similar to those awarded to films/.
