The Phantom Tollbooth (Large Print)

Summary: Still my favorite after all these years!
Review: The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster is a classic! I read it for the first time when I was in fifth or sixth grade. I remember thinking it was amazing then, although I didn't get all of the inside jokes (Canby, jumping to Conclusions, etc.). I re-read the book every few years, enjoying it more and more each time. Now, as an adult, I understand all the jokes and the whole story just seems to get better over time. I teach elementary school and I always find time to read this book to my class. Children from all walks of life can relate to the story and its hero. What child has never been bored with life, with school, with everything? Milo is every child. We can only hope that every child is fortunate enough to take a journey such as Milo's through the Phantom Tollbooth.

Summary: My favorite book of all time
Review: I cannot say enough good things about this book. I have been an avid reader since I could complete a sentence and this is at the top of my list of best all-time books. Milo, the main character, is an endearing boy all of us can relate to. His journey through the tollbooth to lands beyond takes him though landscapes tailored to vivid imaginations. There is just enough mystery and suspense interspersed with humor and cleverly veiled educational topics to make this a "Must-read" for anyone. I just convinced my 49-year-old father, who hates to read, to try this one, and he's now read it twice! If you don't have it, get it, and if you haven't read it, don't wait another second! You're really missing out!

Summary: This Might Turn Your Child Into A Drug Addicted Mathmatician
Review: yes, thats right. i could very well imagine that sort of thing happening. some 7 year old kid reads a weird book that makes him look at things differently and s(he) starts contemplating the infinite and developes an unhealthy infatuation with the infinite and with numbers in general and s(he) could very well be shunned by h(is)er peers which will only add to the problem. i should know. i enjoyed this book myself when i was 7. so you see, im not just being senational.

Summary: An Engaging Story- timeless lessons in life's idiosyncracies
Review: Still one of my all time favorite stories, The Phantom Tollbooth is the single, best adventure a ten year-old's imagination could ever take. It is a wonderful book to share with a child, and I am eternally grateful someone was kind enough to share it with me. Please add five more stars to my rating!

Summary: Pick the right age to read this book
Review: 9 - 12 is too old, I think. A really intelligent 6 - 8 year old is the target audience. Someone old enough to stand at the conductor's podium and delicately call forth a shaft of pale lemon yellow, but not ready for the cacophany of the whole world's myriad colors.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I first read part of The Phantom Tollbooth when I was in 5th grade. There was an excerpt in our reading book. After reading that, I was enthralled-- I had to read the rest. Even now, 20 years old, I still reread this classic every once in a while, and it's still excellent.

Summary: The story of how a boy's life is turned around.
Review: I wasn't the kind of person you would find searching around in a bookstore, that is, until I read this book. It combines adventure and flat out crazyness. A boy who can not find an interest in anything one day comes home from school to find a misterious package for him. When he puts together the tollbooth inside he deposits a coin and then finds himself driving down the road in a strage and unfamilliar land. He will find many friends, and encounter many dangers, but in the end his whole life will change and finally he will be able to enjoy life. To tell you anymore would ruin the experience of reading this wonderful book.

Then one day he finds a strange tollbooth in his room and because he feels he has nothing else to do plays with it and gets transported to a whole new world and meets a lot of interesting new people.
