The Borrowers is only the first book in the series. I felt like it was okay for my 8 year old, but I don't think I would read this to younger children. The drinking explains how an older lady is able to regularly talk to one of the Borrowers and not think she is crazy. They are basically clean and wholesome books, but they do mention drinking and getting drunk (not overly much), but the topic is there and is presented in an entertaining manner.
The plot gets more intriguing and interesting, as the Borrowers learn to trust the boy. The first book is really interesting, because these tiny human-like creatures who live under the kitchen floor are discovered by a boy. We like to read together, too, because then we can share in the fun of the story and make predictions about what will happen next. Obviously, they can both read, but the language is a bit difficult and it helped my 8 year old to have little explanations here and there. I read this aloud to my sons who are 8 and 13 and they really enjoyed it.
