The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
5.0

Is it a kids book that adults can enjoy, or a book for grownups posing as a children's book? Either way, it's a delightful read on two levels. For kids it's an Alice-in-Wonderland style journey with all sorts of interesting characters (the Humbug!) and situations. For adults, it's full of witty wordplay, laugh out loud jokes, and surprise puns. All wrapped up into an allegory on the value of learning - appropriate to all ages. Worth a re-read every couple of years.
