I think I’m one of few people I know who actually was not assigned this book during elementary or middle school. It’s short enough; I’ll try to squeeze it in.
I learned about this book when I was getting my education degree. We had to share our favourite books in English class, and this book was mentioned a couple of times. It's a fun fast read.
I heard about this book on a podcast but never before! A friend of mine, a former school teacher, gave me a bunch of mid-grade books a few weeks ago. This was one of them so I will TRY to remember to read it and come back to this thread to discuss!
I started listening to the audiobook today and am enjoying it! I love the description of a typical day in the Land of Doldrums! Sounds a bit like some of my days. Recognizing the similarities, I've decided to be more productive and positive today! I plan to flip through the physical book, which I have, since I tend to miss details while listening.
If you like plays on words you will love this book. It also has an important message- enjoy the moment, be observant and don't waste time.
