Always a great read. Loved it when I was younger and still love it today. Re-reading the book reminds me why I choose it as a project in reading class. I still remember my dad getting me a refrigerator box so I could paint the inside to go along with the book and my paper.

One of the most formative books from my childhood, which is saying something because, even at that time in my life, I read constantly. The sheer cleverness of the book is to be marveled at.

God my love for this book is deep and endless. This, along with Wrinkle In Time, were two of my utmost favorite children's books. This book was tattered and used, the pages were bent and creased because I read through it so many times. The total genre of fantasy and make believe realms were my favorites as a child, and this was hands down one of the best, and a classic for me. I think I would love to read this out loud to my children as they grow up, that's how much I love this book.

This was a slow re-read of one of my favorite books of all time. So thankful that it lived up to my memory!
