 I was curious about #ThePhantomTollbooth by #NortonJuster as I saw it had been on a "list." I found this to be a delightful middle grade or young reader story that clearly translates to all ages beyond. I loved the absurdity and journey to be curious and learn new ways and new things instead of insisting on the "right" way. Narrated by Rainn Wilson, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and want to name my next dog Tok! Well done @recordedbooks!
