* Age isn't explicitly stated: Lemony Snicket doesn't often provide precise ages for the Baudelaire children.
* Time is a bit unclear: The books don't follow a strict chronological order, and time jumps occur between stories.
However, we can make some educated guesses:
* Based on the series' progression: The Baudelaires are likely around 11-13 years old in the 6th book.
* Sunny's development: Sunny shows significant language and physical development throughout the series, suggesting she's growing rapidly.
Therefore, it's reasonable to assume Sunny is around 3-5 years old in "The Ersatz Elevator," but her exact age remains a bit ambiguous.
