I am 29 years old and just read this book for the first time. Unfortunately for me I never read this as a child, but can't wait to read it to my own children. I imagine most children can relate to this book, the overactive imagination, getting into trouble and then going off into a wonderful world that you feel a part of and accepted in.

I picked up this book while at Costco and read it, amazed at how many memories it brought back. Such a simple storyline but one that will have a child's imagination stirring. This story is a classic and one that every child should read. Parents, please consider reading this with your child before taking them to see the recently released movie. Movies made from books are wonderful but they don't come close to the experience that comes from reading.
