While I did enjoy this book and would recommend for fun and adventure and so many puns and play on words. It seems a little out of date. So it would just depend on the person I’m recommending this too.
I am simultaneously disappointed and delighted that it took me this long to read this. Disappointed because I would have liked to have known my reaction had I read it as a child. Delighted because it was the perfect Quarantimes read.

Five star children's book that just as effectively teaches kids as it does adults. This is technically a reread as I read this in elementary school for class, but this was (obviously) a totally different reading experience.
Cannot go wrong with puns and riddles and word play that are all designed to make you think yourself into a slightly better person, just like Milo.

Full of puns, and little nuggets of wisdom. Magical and wholesome, and absurd.

This review is from my 7 year old who thought this book was the best book ever. The main character is Milo, who is a little boy. He goes on a trip and meets lots of friends and has amazing adventures. Each of his friends have a special talent...and they are quite different from regular people. My favorite character was Tock because he keeps track of time and I'm just learning to tell time at school. I really liked the part where Milo goes to Dictionopolis and gets to eat words and letters...it made me wonder what they would taste like. If you are going to read this book you should know that it's a great book that everyone should read.
