This is absolutely the most inventive, most exciting, most intelligent children's book ever written. This book tickeled my sense of creativity and excitement for literary pursuits very early in life. Everything in this book is a word puzzle, a trickery with words. I found it fascinating when I first read it, and I still can reread it to this day and enjoy as much, if not more, as I did then.
