Summary: The Phantom Tollbooth
Review: The phantom tollbooth is an intresting story where a boy travels to two worlds one based on numbers and one based on letters. in the story there are two princesses Rhyme and Reason. Which played intresting rolls in the story. I give this story to thumbs up and a five star rating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books written in a long time
Review: The Phantom Tollbooth is for anyone who loves words and English. Although it's a great book for kids, adults see even more humor in many of the myriad puns than kids would. I have read the Phantom Tollbooth probably at least thirty times, and no matter how carefully I read it, the next time I always find a new pun. For people who hate reading books more than once, this is a multi-read--you find something new every time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Phantom Tollbooth
Review: The Phantom Tollbooth was published in 1961, making it a story of fifty-one years old when I read it two years ago. Even though I read it that long ago it's still my favorite! Its pages contain adventure, excitement, and mystery! Maybe after this essay you might want to check it out, because it's a real page tuner!

Milo was a bored kid, and always ran out of things to do. He wouldn't one thing for a long amount of time. Nothing ever satisfied him. That was until a mysterious box arrived in his room. Milo wasn't sure he should open that, suspecting that it would be too boring for him. But when he opened the box he was mesmerized! It was a board game that would lead him to magical places and faraway lands. He would venture to Dictionopolis and Digitoplis, and all of the other seven lands, to finally reach the princesses Rhyme & Reason.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An easy way to discover the joys of knowledge
Review: This book , in my opinion, is an easy way to discover the joys of knowledge. Milo at the beginning of the book thought that school was just another way for parents to bore you. But throughout this book milo learns to think out of the box. To take a closer at everyday things. I think by reading this book you can open your mind to new ideas and opinions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Tollbooth Tool
Review: This book is a fantastic tool in preparing your kids for the transition into a higher level of critical thinking and math. I have had the most success reading this book to fifth graders and I feel it is great preparation for moving on to sixth grade. This book helps children to transition from grade school level to middle school level by giving them an entertaining story that helps them to learn more complex levels of math. I especially love the characters in this book because they are fun, but carry deeper meanings that are fun to learn from. I highly recommend this book because of its content, more complex math terms and a higher level of reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: REALLY REALLY GREAT!
Review: this book is so so good. I really like the spelling bee.I think this book is the funniest book I have ever read in my life.this book should get all the awards.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: life altering
Review: This book should be a must read, for children and adults alike. it is truly a beautiful book of friendship, imagination, and just plain fun. It was my first "favorite book" and I think I have read it over a dozen times. At 20 years old, I still treasure this book and accredit it with inspiring me to have fun, take responsibilty, be imaginative, and fill my own space. The style of this author influenced me to incorporate inginuity, creativity, and an element of childhood innocence into my own writing. it is not often that i book comes a long touches every aspect of your life as this one does. give it a chance...what do you have to lose. i think you will find that this amazing companion will be with you for the rest of your life.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Limited appeal
Review: This book was required reading when I was in fifth grade a decade or so ago. While there were some elements I didn't pick up on then, I still beieve this book is overrated and has a limited appeal.

From my interpretation, the book is no comparison to tales such as Alice in Wonderland, because it lacks common fantasy elements on a large scale. I found the book to be a compilation of fantasy and science fiction, which has a quite lesser appeal to general audiences. If that's what you're looking for, by all means, enjoy the book, but otherwise, I believe you might end up in my boat, rather disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite book of all time
Review: This book was so imaginative, and it is my favorite book by far! Just read this and buy this, don't even think, just do!

Rating: 4 stars
