My wife and I tandem read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to the kids tonight. I would definitely recommend reading it to 3rd-8th graders. Just be advised Washington Irving spared no ink when painting his word pictures of the New York countryside and it's denizens. It took us the better part of an hour to read from start to finish. It's worth it but the verbosity made me want to read fast and skip things rather than slow down and soak in the descriptions. The story isn't scary, but like I said it is somewhat slow going so little kids might not be interested.
