Every child is different and reading is different than watching. The movies were pg-13, the books probably fit that determination as well. But when a particular child is actually "ready" has to be determined by parent and to some degree the child.

There's no uruk-hai hatch scene in the books at least. I read them starting at 7 or 8ish myself and don't recall any related nightmares.
