Oh, the mem'ries

The phantom tollbooth has been one of my favorite books since the fourth grade, when my teacher read it to the class. We'd sit on the floor, or in desks, or wherever; at an age when most of us were growing out of being read aloud to, Mr. Vogel gave us great memories. He'd read things that, at our...

My favorite book of all time.

Ok, I HATE nonsense novels so you'd think that I'd hate the phantom tollbooth ,right? Wrong! This book is not like other nonsense novels; it's special. With lovable characters such as: Tock the Watchdog, Humbug, Rhyme, Reason, King Azaz, The Mathamagician, and of course the star of this, Milo. I...

An Overlooked Classic

This is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. I never heard of it growing up, and my parents were diligent in providing us with the classics. Even today most of the customers in my bookstore don't know it exists. This is a crime, because it belongs right up there with Alice in...

Fantastic Book

Reviewed by my 5th grade daughter:I had to read this book for a fifth grade project. Every day we read a little bit more, and every day when I came home, I told my Mom how much fun I was having reading it and what a great book it was. So, at the next book fair our school had, I bought the book...
