Mortimer's Cross

Summary: Great reading for all ages
Review: What a wonderful book. Smart, gentle, extremely funny and totally inoffensive, this is the sort of book you can encourage just about any kid to read. It's formatted in chapters, but it really functions as a series of short stories, and its wonderful language makes it easily accessible to kids from preschool to middle-grades, and its sophisticated sense of humor makes it appealing even up into adulthood. A great book for anyone.
