As a bit of history homeschooling, I played it for my 6 year old. He flopped around a little bit during the first few minutes of the description of the poor, but caught wise once you started reading over serving up the poor as a delicacy and started to crack up at the reading. We had a good discussion about how Swift was using his words to lance at people in power doing nothing about a problem they were ignoring, and he seemed to enjoy that. Pretty decent end to a school day!
