Here is some data I’ve collected on the reading level of Ruth Chew’s books. The data comes from what is printed on some of the copies in the collection and from old reviews published in industry journals.
It seems the books are generally considered to be suitable for second graders (seven-year-olds) and up, though of course every child is different.
