Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Animated peril, shipwreck and capture sequences, abandonment and bullying themes, and emotional separation may trouble younger children. The story's humor, non-graphic treatment, and positive resolution suit most children around 7 and up. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
