"Although written for children almost 50 years ago, it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland -- poking fun at politics, bureaucracy, etc. We read it for fun at our book club and it produced some wonderful discussion. If you read it as a child, read it again..."
"This is one of the best books ever.I like it because some of the things in there are really funny and weird and awesome at the same time,i really think everyone should read this book. it rocks"
"If you have children, you have to read this book to them. It is so much fun and the story is a great adventure. Then, when they get older, it's even more fun when they read it themselves."
