Harriet the Spy was one of my favorites. :)<br /><br />I was looking at The Phantom Tollbooth at the bookstore the other day, and almost bought it. I don't think I've ever read it, and I know that it's a classic. Next time I'll pick it up.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462459107482092565.post-3477425134912493022010-05-09T22:20:17.462-07:002010-05-09T22:20:17.462-07:00I like children's books too.

Of course nothing compares to - and I mean nothing at all compares to - The Phantom Tollbooth, perhaps the most brilliant book ever written, and neatly written for young kids and young people. The double meaning messages in that book are profound. If you haven't read the Phantom Tollbooth lately, read it.<br /><br />MelodyMelody206https://www.blogger.com/profile/03952070046122971250noreply@blogger.com
