I wish I had read this book growing up! I would have loved it. Such an amazing fantasy with the exact type of word-play that I adore.
This book is a delight with all the word play! How did I miss this gem as a child? I laughed out loud time and time again!
4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent! It reminds me of being a child…
This had been on my TBR list for the longest time. My daughter introduced me to this book while she was in high school. “The Phantom Tollbooth” was a required read for her humanities class. I have only heard of good things since then.

Must read for kids, easy 5 stars.
I can’t believe I never read this book before 22! I thought that I had hit all of the classic 60s works when I was pretty young, but somehow this one slipped under the radar. It’s a charming and creative and funny story about the value and beauty of learning and I would recommend it to any child or adult in my life. Lovely!!!
Ein schönes Kinderbuch, obwohl Kinder es vielleicht gar nicht so gut erfassen können wie ältere Leser. The Phantom Tollbooth strotzt nämlich nur so vor Wort- und Zahlenspielen. Durch diese Richtung hat es mich extrem an Alice im Wunderland erinnert, wobei es hier wohl Milo im Wörterland heißen sollte. Quirlig und clever.
