If you parents haven't heard about this incredibly entertaining book we've been reading, you must pull your kid aside and ask him/her to explain everything about it to you. You will want to read it yourself!It was my favorite book when I was ten, and I have been re-reading it with the same relish I had in 5th grade. It integrates everything a book should be into its' pages, including math, science, wonder, imagination, and creativity...the author, Norton Juster, manages to sneak a little education into his passages every chapter.
It's been a pleasure reading the kids' written response pages to the chapters. They seem to love the imagery and really appreciate the humor, which translates well from adult to child. Pick up a copy for home, if you don't already have one. It's well worth the $7.00!
And remember...Green Apple on Clement Street has used copies!
