(and the movie) many times, and seem to get more out of it each time. The
book was assigned reading for a college psych class, with the unusual twist
that we had to read it three times during the semester. Even though I was
already very familiar with the book, I found new ways to interpret and
understand the story as an adult.
If you can get a copy of the film version (starring, among others, Gene
Wilder and Bob Fosse), you could make the story accessible even to PK.

My English-teaching spouse suggests /Naomi's Road /for younger students
and /Obasan/ for older readers (both by Joy Kogawa - same
autobiographical story, different levels). She also suggests /The
Little Prince/ which has only the one version but is accessible (and
meaningful) to all.
