Just exactly how you'd want a children's book to be: Charming, imaginative, funny, and never gratingly patronizing as children's books so often are.
I remember loving this book in 4th grade, only to rediscover it b/c the author wrote an adult novel that was recommended to me.
A fun grade school chapter book. If you like Roald Dahl you 'll like Eva Ibbotson.
given a 4/5 when first added as a baby <3
reread in my quest thru my bookshelf. cute and simple and has an octopus named doris and a baby kraken and a worm named rover ^^
