As such, the story is totally suitable for any age.Catharine Withenayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936767499911371984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698895083678658969.post-34917586229152001392010-02-12T20:50:32.038+00:002010-02-12T20:50:32.038+00:00Are you sure that this is suitable for a nine year...Are you sure that this is suitable for a nine year old?
