My preschooler wanted me to read this book to him! So I started reading it aloud to him and his older brother months ago. The boys loved it (especially my second grader).
Bilbo Baggins is content to exist in the shire with the comfort of his food and home. When Gandalf arrives to ask for his assistance in an adventure that involves days and nights without food or comfortable bedding plus trolls, goblins, orcs, tricky wood elves, gigantic spiders, a dragon and disagreeable dwarfs, Bilbo is surprised to find himself agreeing!
A wonderful adventure!
*Highly recommend.
