The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
3.0

This is the second classic book lately I've read to my daughter as we attempt to fill in some gaps in our classic consumption. I must say, this didn't quite rise to the heights of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. However, I think this book would be much more enjoyable read to one's self rather than aloud. A lot of the wordplay would be more effective that way, but that is likely just my own tastes. Regardless, this was definitely enjoyed by the 9 year-old and we had a great time relating to this in follow up conversations.
