The Phantom Tollbooth (Large Print)

Summary: Wonderful book
Review: I can't believe my mother gave me the Phantom Tollbooth 35 years ago, but I just took my copy down from the shelf and sure enough, it was printed in 1961. I loved it as a nine-year-old, I read it to my own children when they were little, and I've frequently re-read it when no other book would do. It's funny and clever. The illustrations by Jules Feiffer enchanted me as a child and still delight me today. A slight correction to your synopsis: Faintly Macabre IS the not-so-wicked-Which.

Summary: This book is just about perfect
Review: For many years, this book was my "rainy day" book; whenever it rained and I had nothing else to do, I read this book and loved it. For the intelligent child of any age, this book can't be beat--it is similar in tone to, and ranks with, Alice in Wonderland

Summary: This is the best book I ever read!!
Review: This book is about a boy who is always bored, until one day when he comes home from school and finds a tollbooth in his room. As he has nothing else to do, he drives through the tollbooth. He finds himself in another world. In this world he meets four main characters, a dog, a spelling bee and two brothers. The boy learns that two princesses, rhyme and reason, have been put in a castle in the sky by the two brothers. Each of the brothers represent words and numbers. Everything got mixed up after they put their princess sisters in the castle. The two brothers argue over which is better, words or numbers. The boy learns all about the words and numbers and then sets out to rescue the princesses. The boy has many adventures during his mission to rescue the sisters. It is a very very exciting and interesting story. I don't want to tell you any more about the story, but this book is a MUST READ BOOK! IT IS GREAT! I am an almost 10 year old boy. I think both boys and girls would love this book ages 8 and up.

Review: I read this book when I was in third grade and immediately loved it. Since then I have read it numerous times and continue to enjoy it. Every time I read it I'm taken to the Lands Beyond and am taught new things. The only thing I could possibly compare the book to would be a Disney movie which has hidden jokes for adults. Both Disney movies and the Phantom Tollbooth entertain young children as well as adults. When asked by a college advisor what my favorite book was I did not hesitate before saying the Phantom Tollbooth. This is truly an amazing and wonderfully creative book. I would strongly recommend reading it to anyone of any age.
