My son read it in 3rd grade, after I helped him read the first chapter. It was the first adult book he'd ever read. He was so excited to then be able to see the movie. I'm wildly supportive of the PG version of the book. There are a lot of prudish parents out there, and public schools naturally have to be inclined toward folks who complain the most. It would be tragic to allow a few bad words to keep such an inspiring book from millions of children who wouldn't see it otherwise.
