I agree with pohnpei that this Ray Bradbury short story is one that should appeal to all ages. The themes of the story, concerning the nuclear destruction of life on Earth, is certainly pertinent to all humans--especially at the time it was written, 1950, just five years after the atomic bombs were dropped over Japan. I have taught this story in high school (a combined 9th-10th grade science fiction class), and I believe the text in which it was included was from that approximate age group. The title was borrowed from a 19th century poem by Sara Teasdale.
