When a book, or toy, or game has a suggested age range of 4-8, or 1-3, or 9-12, or "adult", and your child does not fit into the suggested category, well, they *might* still enjoy it. Or they might not.
Don't rate it low just because it's not suited for your kid!
I'm not saying you should slavishly adhere to suggested age ranges, just because - quite often the suggested ages are wrong, or wrong for your kid - I'm just saying that you should proceed with caution. It's totally inappropriate to say "This book gets two stars for being boring for children under the age of four, it's much too wordy, etc. etc. etc." when the book, the book *itself*, is written for children older than your precious baby!
Gah.
