Great book! submitted by andrewa on June 16, 2018, 6:51pm Its a really great book!

a favorite book from my childhood submitted by robinfowler on July 3, 2019, 12:42pm This book is funny and includes lots of word play.

Great for upper elementary submitted by thesrays on August 5, 2020, 9:28pm Remember when you drove your parents nuts with knock-knock jokes that centered on play of word? My own pun journey peaked in 5th grade. If you know a child, or child at heart, going through that word play stage, this is the book for them! An enjoyable romp!

The Phantom Tollbooth submitted by margaret.m.banker on August 6, 2020, 7:39pm This was (and still is!) one of my all-time favorite books. A lot of fun for readers young and old -- I even wrote my graduation speech about Milo and his adventures!!

A GREAT BOOK submitted by amandasaurus on June 19, 2022, 6:18pm I can’t tell you how much I loved this book. It’s so quirky and playful and imaginative! A great read for middle school and beyond.

GOAT children's book submitted by audreyhalversen on July 13, 2022, 12:21pm IMO this is the best children's book ever written. To this day, I read this book any time I need to spark my creativity.
