We recently completed reading The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I was a little worried about whether or not both of my kids (Maria age 5 and Abraham age 6.75) would be able to follow it but I decided to give it a shot. It was a great hit. Maria loved all the girls in the book and especially liked Mr. Tumnus. Abraham was very interested in the White Witch and Aslan.
While reading the book we also watched the BBC version of the movie, and it was able to bring the White Witch to life for us on the pages. I would highly recommend using that movie to enrich the book if you wanted to.
After The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, we tried to read Prince Caspian but we all got bogged down by the wars and who was fighting who. It was kind of like reading the Old Testament at times, so we put it aside and vowed to read Voyage of the Dawn Treader next whenever we decide to return to Narnia.
