Written and adapted by Jim Weiss (except as noted).
Question
Mel H –
Why would this be for ages 9 and up? I have a 7 year old I would like to include but am hesitant to purchase due to the 9+ age recommendation.

Press Minion –
The age-ranges are just our best estimates. There’s nothing really objectionable in this: profanity, sexual content, details about violence, etc. A 7-year-old might not understand all the content but would be fine to listen to it.

No, unfortunately, it is not. But some of these recordings are available as parts of other CDs, like the Harriet Tubman track in “Women in Blue or Gray: true stories from both sides of the American Civil War.”
