My 4 year old can't read properly for herself yet, but she is starting to be disappointed when the standard type '4 year old' book ends. She still enjoys them but she sees her older brother with stories that 'carry on' from night to night.
I was in two minds when I purchased Iggy and Me for her for Christmas, but thought, if it is too old for her now it will do her later, so I won't really have lost anything.
As it turns out though it was an excellent choice. The story is well written, with characters everyone can relate to, and even though it's a far cry from stories with colour illustrations on every page, she didn't seem at all bothered by the lack of pictures (there are some black & white illustrations throughout the book, but not what she's used to). Every chapter got giggles from both my children (my older child is a 10 year old boy, I think Iggy reminds him of his 4 year old sister).
My 4 year old was so disappointed the night we finished the last chapter, she kept insisting we must have missed bits, because long as the book must be to a 4 year old, it's apparently so enjoyable, it's not long enough.
I would thoroughly recommend this book, and since it's voiced by Iggy's older sister I would say the age range for this book is probably quite wide.
There was not a part of this book that my 4 year old did not understand, and anything that did come up in the book had Iggy say she didn't know what it meant and her Sister or parents explained it to her. I don't think there are many books out there this length written in the quite the same way, and even though the language was easy enough for my 4 year old to understand at every point what was going on, it didn't speak down to her and it didn't sound juvenile.
I see from the back of the book there's another Iggy book due out some time this year, so I'll definitely be buying that one for her too.
Iggy is now my daughter's favorite story. I'm so glad I chose this as her first proper chapter book, as I think it's important to establish a love of books early on, and this one has certainly helped my little girl with that.

Written by my 8 year old daughter
I thought this was a good book by the author Jenny Valentine, about Iggy and her big sister Flo. Sometimes Iggy is naughty, sometimes Iggy is VERY naughty! Iggy and Flo are NEVER EVER bored, Iggy has a great imagination. I have also read 'Iggy and me and the happy birthday' and I enjoyed it. I would like to read more books about Iggy!
