I would like to buy this for my 6 year old - will I be able to use this for larger scholastic books geared at Elementary School age? Thx!

I bought this for our office lobby - it is better for larger size books - small books disappear in the pockets. It was easy to put together and seems to be sturdy.

Hi- if you mean small paperback novels, I think the pockets are too deep and they would disappear. I use it for my son's dr. Seuss books and things of that size. Hope that helps.

My kids are 6 and 4. I find this bookshelf is better for larger books, actually. My kids are fairly active and try to climb on everything, so when I got it I was a bit afraid it would last a couple of hours. That was two years ago and it's still looking good!

A book sized approximately 12' tall by 9-10" wide, and up to about 2" thick would fit in the slings without blocking the next row. The unit's compact dimensions would fit the scale of most furniture in my grandson's room.

It can hold larger books but only a few. This is small sling bookshelf and I just had to get a larger bookshelf for my 5 year old.

Agree with the others. This bookshelf is great for bigger books versus smaller books as the latter ones will be hidden in the sling. I found this bookshelf study too.

Yes. Little board books disappear in those slings. Books like "Giraffes Can't Dance," "This is the Way to the Moon," "A Pig Parade...," etc are best because you can actually see the tops of the books and titles.

If You Align The Magnifier Sheet With The Mid-Spine of The Book , Then it Should be quite easy to hold both together. It Will Definitely Work !!

I got it for my three year old grandson, I'm sure it would thrill a six year old. According to the age definitions, it should be okay size wise. I was hoping my grandson would be able to use it for several years. Hope it works for you.

Not at all! I teach K-8 gifted and every grade loves it. Consider buying 2! It's so fantastic that making a giant structure would be so fun! There are LOtS of pieces and great instructions so maybe get one then add to it later once she is a pro :)

yes, it would be too difficult for a six year old. the "basics" would probably be okay for a bright six year old that was able to add simple numbers, however, when you include the "trump/captain" card rules and the strategy necessary to determine when to play your cards and on what ships...that would put the 6 year old at a disadvantage when playing with adults. MAYBE if playing against other kids the same age...who again all knew how to add...but i would recommend against it.

I believe ideally 32. However, you can purchase additional pages and add up to a max of 48. If you are looking to expand your collection it may be a good idea to focus on the 32 initially and have extra empty pages in each book to accommodate new items. This is what I did and it worked well. I am also a bit frugal and have over stuffed mine a bit. Hahaha. They don't get tossed around because I do not have kids in the house, so the risk of stressing the binder is minimal for my situation. They are still pretty sturdy and look nice on the shelf. I hope this helps. It's my understanding that the binding product is flexible to meet your storage needs. Good luck. I believe ideally 32.

You can fit a mass market paperback in it, as long as it's not a really thick one, but it will not fit most hard cover or larger sized paperback books. I hope this helps.

No , this is for ages 6 & up. There is a junior one that you can buy for 4 yr old kids.

Depending on your 6-year old's strength - yes. If you tighten it VERY tight...probably not...but, I would say, a child could open this very easily. If not, I instructed my then-8 year-old to ask an adult for assistance.

This was fine for my 6 year old granddaughter, but she reads at a third grade level. It worked best for my nine year old granddaughter.

I don't think it would hold up well with big, heavy music books. You can always put something more substantial (like very thin plywood) on it, which makes it sturdier and could make it longer to accommodate 4 pages across.

I think it would depend on the size of the book. I personally don't keep it in the most upright position because it gets a little wobbly.

It worked perfectly for my 7 year old so I would think it would work well for a 6 year old too. :-D

It would depend on the child. If the child likes creating things then yes it would. This was bought for a 3 year old but the older siblings ( 8 & 10) enjoy playing with it. I would rate it pre-school to year 3.

The largest books I use it for are cookbooks. Some of them are quite big and fairly heavy and it works just fine. You can move the foldable parts in or out to accommodate different widths. I've been happy with mine.

It's best for kids that can read some...but ages out by 10. You can get "older" apps from Google Play, which extends the age range a little, but those apps are sometimes glitchy on the MEEP.

I think it would absolutely be great for the classroom! I've only ever used it with my two kids, but I don't see why it couldn't be shared among 6 or more kids. We use it mostly for math facts and it is very easy to tailor it to your needs. My son is in second grade and my daughter is in 5th. We use it with multiplication (in our own way) and it's a nice quick/easy way to refresh her and prepare my son.
