The Phantom Tollbooth was written by Norman Juster, with illustrations
by Jules Feiffer.  There was also an animated movie with animation
by Feiffer, and that stuck very close to the story.  It was one of
the few movies that didn't ruin the book for me.

Has anyone mentioned the OZ books yet?  L. Frank Baum wrote a whole
bunch of them, then, when he died, J. J. O'Neill (the original illustrator
for the Oz books) and Ruth P. Thompson wrote a bunch more.

Anything by Andre Norton makes good kid reading (for kids over 10, that
is). 


The Last Unicorn makes for good reading for those youngsters with an
melancholy turn of mind.

Steve Perry just wrote a book for younglings.  I remember him complaining
that after gearing it to his 12 and 15 yearolds, the publisher made him
cut all the sentences to six words each.

Most of my childhood favorites have already been mentioned, so I won't be
redundant redundant.
