A note for parents
This is a 990-page academic edition of William Blake's complete works with scholarly commentary, not a narrative book written for children or families. Without knowing which specific poems and prose pieces are included or the nature of Bloom's commentary, I cannot reliably assess content. Blake's works range from accessible poetry to complex, symbolically dense pieces with mature philosophical and religious themes.
