Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The basic premise of this book, the lives of a girl's toys, is sweet and the stories are generally age-appropriate. But this book, which is listed as being geared for age FOUR to eight, talks about the toys being afraid of "AXE MURDERERS in the basement", not once, but THREE TIMES in Chapter 3. I had to edit as I read aloud to my four year old - he does NOT need that explained to him at his age. I am very disappointed because the stories are *nearly* gentle. The "axe murderer" component is just not needed - wouldn't it have been sufficient to have the toys be afraid of the basement's spiders and unwashed socks? Now I'm going to need to pre-read the rest of the book to see if it's appropriate. Not what I expected from this type of book at all.
