Relation During Books The Phantom Tollbooth
Librarian's Note: For an alternate cover edition of the same ISBN, click here.Hailed as “a classic. . . . humorous, full of warmth and real invention” (The New Yorker), this beloved story -first published more than fifty years ago- introduces readers to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond.
For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason! Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams. . . .

You can swim all day in the Sea of Knowledge and still come out completely dry. After a long time, this is the first children book I've read. It's a good book. I read this book because of its amazing cover. And the fact that it's my cousin's course book. She lent it to me and I read it in three sittings. And loved it!It's the story of a bored child, Milo who doesn't find anything interesting in the real world. One day he gets Phantom Tollbooth as present which allows him to go to the Landoh man. it's like amelia badelia for halfway-grownups.here's what i think of when i think of the phantom tollbooth:-people trying (and failing) to feed themselves with five-foot long spoons-people having to (but not wanting to) eat their words-semi-philosophical ideas about time and being and the way people treat themselves and each other*what a doozy of a book! is it enough to say that i la-la-love it? no? okay, well let me add this: i think you should read it. really. and yes, i do mean YOU
The Phantom Tollbooth is an essential classic for children and adults alike. An immensely clever and fun read, which was filled with wordplay. The entire story was like a huge, well-written pun. I absolutely loved every second of it.I would like to thank my lovely book-twin, Celeste for introducing and gifting me with this wonderful book.
I wasn't as impressed with this book as many of my friends. Perhaps that is because of my high expectations for the book or perhaps because of my preferences in writing style. So those who love this book can use one of those two reasons to blow off my review. However, the fact remains that I was not very interested from page to page, and if not for a commitment to a book group, I am afraid I would not have had any desire to finish it.In style the book seems to be written for a particular age
I just finished this book with my oldest boy. I've been reading a chapter or two out loud to him every night when we can manage it. I never read The Phantom Tollbooth before, so it had no particular nostalgic appeal to me. But I'd heard about it, and it was in my house (somehow) so I decided to give it a try. Here's the short version: Meh. It's not awful. But it wasn't great, either.Overall, I found reading it to be a bit of a slog. When thinking ahead to reading time at night, I want to be
JULYas part of my personal reading challenges for 2017, once a month i will be revisiting a favorite book from when i was a little bitty karen and seeing if it holds up to my fond memories and determining if i can still enjoy it as an old and crotchety karen.fingers crossed.so: first things first. in answer to the question 'does this book hold up?' heres whats weird. i have no memory of reading this book as a kid. i know i read it - i remember all of jules feiffers illustrations and i have
