Molly Clark’s Reviews > The Phantom Tollbooth > Status Update

I am reading this with a fifth grade student who is part of a bilingual family, which makes the word play and figurative language challenging for her but fun to teach. While she will comprehend this book mostly from a story level, I am finding so much depth in its message. The story is a testament to the power of a well-chosen word, and what happens to society when language becomes less specific.
