Question
Can one bring young kids to the Megillah reading?
Does each person have to have a kosher Megillah during the reading?

One should educate young children to come and listen to the Megillah reading as long as they don't bother.
It is most advisable to own a Kosher Megillah, but if not one may follow word by word in an unkosher Megillah.
