I wouldn't say totally following them; she can't tell the story of a whole book yet (not even a little one, while flipping through it). But something will happen and she will comment upon the stage business, as it were, or remark upon the subject matter in a way that makes clear she's actually grokking it.

Neither have the 7 year old nor the 5.5 year old :-) And quite a lot of the time they are both going on loudly about different subjects, at the same time, both trying to be the one who gets parental attention first.

That being said, the seven year old has discovered the old Star Wars novelizations in our library, took them to his room, and is only emerging when dragged out for meals (he's working on "Return of the Jedi").
