For which decision, you rule! (and soon your daughter will rule the world, because the rest of it will be drooling in front of the telly). I was homeschooled and it was a matter of Mum teaching me how to read and then trying to buy books fast enough to keep up with me.
I read Narnia when I was five, started on LOTR and Shakespeare when I was nine, Pride and Prejudice when I was elevenish, and continued in a similar vein. I had no conception of what was, or was not, a classic. So I never learned to approach classics with such reverence that I never dared to read them. I was omnivorous--I read a fair bit of age-appropriate total rubbish (ahhh, Nancy Drew) and learned a trick or two about mirrors and leather with less-appropriate works (ahhh, Candide).
And then, on a whole nother level, what exactly gives these people the right to restrict a kid's library access? Blind leading the blind.
