I read The Hobbit to my son and daughter at 6. It was outstanding. My son is almost 8 now and Sam just glimpsed Mount Doom for the first time tonight. It has been a slow but very fun read. Don't be afraid to read above their age level, defining words as you go and helping with comprehension.
Someone in the thread said this was a core memory for them as a kid. This is a core memory for me as an adult.
