Customer Reviews

Great book!

We love this book. One of my daughters, who loves fantasy, asks us to read this to her about once a week. The story totally captures a childs imagination. A child will never look at the trees in their yard the same way again.

great interesting reading for young and old

The travels of little billy are exciting. The developing story leaves you amazed by his adventures and the urge to get behind billy and save the min pins from the terrible grunger.

Third Graders at Montclaire School loved "The Minpins"!

My third graders had just come in from our Halloween Parade to sit on the floor and listen to "The Minpins." I had 100% riveted attention as I read the story. This is not usually a day when such focus is possible. I am so glad that I chose to share "The Minpins" as part of our Halloween Day preparations!

Good book

The book was interesting and fascinating and a good fairy tale. I say "the best book by Ronald Dahl"
