I knew this story by the movie released in 1968 with Dick Van Dyke. I did not know it was based on a book until this year. 

The book has some differences such as Mr. Potts is already married and there is no grandpa Potts. Otherwise the stories are very similar. 

This is a fun short elementary grade novel. It is a very creative story that I throughly enjoy regardless of whether it is a book or movie. Andrew Sachs also brings such a bright life to the narration.
