I read this to the boys; they liked it, I thought it was kind of dull.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.

I remember my 4th grade teacher reading this book to us and I absolutely LOVED it. But then I read it to my kids and wondered what it was that I thought was so great. Kids liked it, tho'. I guess you have to be under 10 to be enthralled.
My fourth grade teacher read it to our class, too, and I loved it. I'm 39 and I still re-read this book every couple of years. It still evokes imaginative pictures and a sense of childlike thrill and wonder in me.
