I loved the 1970s movie adaptation of this book when I was a kid. I've finally read the book (with my 9 year old who also really enjoyed it). It was as delightful as my recollection of the movie, which I will watch again soon. Juster managed to write a book about the return of rhyme & reason to a a world of wisdom staunchly divided between math people & language people without it feeling contrived.

still hits just as hard as an adult
Still one of my favorite books. I get something more from each reread. It is a beautiful and whimsical story about staying curious and learning everything you can in this world of ours. I want everyone to read it.
This book is just as fun and whimsy as I remembered. Can't wait to rewatch the movie too
Another classic. Wearing the rose tinted specs of nostalgia, it’s quite sweet, in its way, with its gentle morals and vanilla surrealism. It’s also quite formulaic and dull.
Lots of good puns though.
