Summary: A Good Book
Comment: I read this book last April. From the start I thought it was very creative and I admired Norton Juster's clever use of words. I'm not sure why, but most of the kids in my class hated this book. I think that it is pretty good. I'm beginning to believe there is something wrong with my class-they liked The House of Dies Drear more than this book! (Ugh, I personally believe The House of Dies Drear is one of the worst books I have ever read) They also said that The Phantom Tollbooth was boring, but I think it is far from that! My main complaint about this book is that Milo didn't really show much of his personality throughout the story, only in the beginning and end. Basically, the character development was poor. But I guess that's okay, because this book wasn't intended to be very serious or well developed. It just wanted to be fun, and I think it was an enjoyable read. I would recommend this book for students in grades 3-6, but all ages can like it.

Summary: Willy Wonka meets Websters Collegiate Dictionary
Comment: I love this book. Back in fifth grade, Miss McGowan read our class a chapter a day from this book for a few weeks. For any schoolteachers out there -- this is a highly effective, and arguably educational, means of crowd control, if you're in charge of droves of unruly kids. For any kids out there -- it was a good crowd control method because we LOVED it! It's just a fantastic story, one that gets you thinking about many illogical features of the English language. I bet a lot of writers got set on the road to being authors because of reading this book, when they were younger...
It's just a terrific story, about a kid named Milo who is given a mysterious tollbooth as a gift (yes, I'm serious.) He drives through it in a toy car, enters a strange land, and before you know it he is immersed in a quest to restore Rhyme and Reason (two lost princesses) to the devastated, former "Kingdom of Wisdom." Everywhere he goes, he meets really weird creatures. If you like to draw, it is a lot of fun to try to imagine what these creatures look like, and draw them. Basically, this book is just an awful lot of fun. You'll never forget it. If you liked the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," you will love this book. Two thumbs up.

Summary: Wonderful book!!
Comment: Very imaginative and fabulous book! The main character goes on an adventure in a fantasy land, where he learns the importance of learning vocabulary and math in school. Plus he learns the pitfalls of such bad behaviors as lethargy and insincerity. As the character Princess Rhyme says at the end of the book, "It's not just learning things that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things at all that matters." Even though this book was intended for children, I think many adults would enjoy it too.
