2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

Yes, it's a picture book. It's my second picture book for this challenge. I am not ashamed. Haha.

Besides, I have been dying to read this book for a long time. It's one of the first books I put in my "to-read" list when I joined in 2011, and I finally read it!

I wanted to read it ever since I heard Alt J's song "Breezeblocks". The lyrics allude to the book, so I got curious because I thought the song was brilliant.

Anyway, I read it. It's pretty good. I wish I read it when I was younger, I guess.

This has to be one of my FAVORITE children's books!!!

I own a copy since more than 20 years, I liked it as a child :)
If you haven't seen the movie, it's pretty well done, even if there are differences.

Ooh, I haven't yet. I didn't think it was worth watching, but now I want to.

I love this book. I read it to my children regularly.

This book is one I remember my parents reading to me as a little kid...and when I was a preschool teacher I read it to my students. It is one of my favorite books ever--so fun and imaginative--I can't believe it got bad reviews!

I didn't care for the movie, but I'm sort of old school. I liked the original cartoon that was made of it.

Good god, how does this have bad reviews? #1: I loved it as a kid, it basically made up my childhood. #2: it's a children's book. Seriously, people?
