This was THE book that got me into reading at age 8. I of course liked reading before I read it, but it was THIS BOOK, that made me jump down the rabbit hole of reading, and I've been a resident of reading ever since. I don't regret anything. And I am forever grateful for my year two English tutor who got this for me for my 8th birthday, the DVD too.
