She dreams quite a lot as it is and I think if I had "my way" (I don't), this isn't where I would have the magic of childhood. But, my wife enjoys it, so it is fine.
Smallsteps will hopefully start reading pretty young, so she can start exploring new worlds that way. I was 8 when I read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and by then, I had already finished everything in the library below it. The benefit of being an outcast =)
