Since I was on a Neil Gaiman kick for bedtime reading for Boen anyway, and I don't much are about whether a book is age appropriate, I decided to read Stardust to Boen. Stardust was always one of my favorite Gaiman books, and I kinda felt like I was cheating Boen by reading the kindle edition to him, instead of the version with Charles Vess's brilliant illustrations. Nevertheless, the language of the novel is such that it loses nothing by not having the illustrations, and good luck trying to read the paper copy to a kid who's supposed to sleep.
Boen enjoyed the book and so did I. Recommended.
