An absolute delight. Everything about it is charming. I don't think there's a book quite like it out now. I haven't read anything that has come close to this one for wit and humour. One I'll be re-reading long into the future.

I picked this one up as part of a book club with a group of freinds. I did not have a childhood experience with this one, but I found the adventure and the whimsy entertaining. Towards the end the episodic and gimmicky nature of the book wore on me a little. That may have been because I binged it a bit. Feels like a fusion between Shel Silverstein and C.S. Lewis. Great for young readers.
katiegilley's review against another edition
This is the story of Milo, a boy that is always bored. One day he finds a tollbooth in his bedroom that takes him to a parallel land. There, he meets a watchdog named Tock and a Humbug that become his partner for his search for Rhyme & Reason. This fun book is a wonderful play on words, pun-filled (dare I say?) masterpiece for kids that seems intent on showing them how fun it is to read.
