Book Description:
Illustrated in black-and-white. We're celebrating the thirty-fifth anniversary (1996) of this modern kids' classic with a special hardcover edition! This ingenious fantasy centeres around Milo, a bored ten-year-old who comes home to find a large toy tollbooth sitting in his room. Joining forces with a watchdog named Tock, Milo drives through the tollbooth's gates and begins a memorable journey. He meets such characters as the foolish, yet lovable Humbug, the Mathemagician, and the not-so-wicked "Which," Faintly Macabre, who gives Milo the "impossible" mission of returning two princesses to the Kingdom of Wisdom...

This bookj is a rare entertainment with lasting delight. It's one of those seldom found books which adults and young readers alike will put on the same shelf with the immortal "Alice in Wonderland."

Classic!
Both children & adults will love the cleverly written & sagacious fable.
I'm having a hard time giving it up.

Read it as a child; loved it. Bought it for my children and they just didn't want to read it. :(
