Guilty Pleasure...

I am 19 years old, and I love this book. Ever since my mom bought it for my baby brother, one of my chief pleasures of the Halloween season has been getting this book out and rereading it. I'm sure not all adults will be as enthralled, though most will find it amusing (ever notice the ghost reading H. G. Wells' "Invisible Man"?) but kids will love it for the rhymes, the storyline (perfect for combatting "there's a monster in my closet" fears) and the truly cool illustrations. Even though I can find everything Winnie's looking for by memory at this point, it's still fun to look for and around them. Buy this book! You won't regret it.
