Rating: Summary: THe best children's book ever Review: This is my favorite children's book ever! I have read it at least 10 times--gets better every time!! Read this book to your children.
Rating: Summary: Charming and delightful Review: This is the story of Commander Caractacus Pott, a highly eccentric inventor, and his family. When they acquire a broken-down old automobile, Commander Pott goes to work on it, and seemingly with the help of the automobile itself, he rebuilds it into a car that is more than a little bit magic. Due to the sound it makes when it starts up, the Pott children name the car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! However, a trip in this car is like nothing you can imagine, anything can happen, and something fantastic invariably will! And so it's off to adventure and danger!This is a charming and delightful children's story, one that you could hardly imagine was written by Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond books! My kids love this whimsical story and yours will too. My family highly recommends this book to yours. 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: Good Job Mister Fleming, Ian Fleming Review: This was one of my favorite books when I was a little kid. I am so glad that it is still in print. I never knew that the author, Ian Fleming, was the same author of the James Bond novels. That is so cool.

Rating: Summary: Great read aloud book. Review: This was one of my favorites as a kid and I just read it to my son (aged 4 1/2). The story moves at a fast pace and was one of the first full length books we read. He loved it. The illustrations are wonderful and helped to hold his interest ... but not so many that he couldn't use his imagination to follow the story. I wish Ian Fleming had written more chldrens books.
