I read this story to my class of 3-5 year old students, on my tablet, after we read a version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." Some of the humor was a little sophisticated for the three year olds, but once the play started, the students got into the story and found it funny. I think if we hadn't read "Goldilocks..." already, they would not have laughed as much! They were able to say how "Tackylocks," was different from the other version of "Goldilocks..." So this is within their comprehension level as a read aloud. I have a paperback copy in the classroom library, and the kids wanted me to read it again during independent reading time.
However, I do not recommend the e-book version of the story. The layout of the text is not in sync with the pictures. It's not as bad if you orient your tablet upright versus horizontally. The e-book had the pages as they are in the paperback with text, but also has the text in the upper and lower margins. It is confusing and slowed the read aloud process. I ended up just zooming on the pages and reading the text that way.
