Magic City Audiobook

" I would probably give this 3 !/2 stars that would probably have been 4 stars had I read it rather than listening (as much as I could) with the kids while I tried to get them to do their chores. The basic idea is that the toys and books are made into a little city and then the kids get pulled into the city and have a grand adventure...a fun story if you are looking for a book to recommend to children or to read aloud together! "

" I love E. Nesbit. I have yet to be disappointed by one of her books. "

" Yay, Nesbit! Shouldn't think this'll become a favourite, but was delighted by Nesbit's sense of humour and imagination as always. "

" Nesbit is a master of crafting a world of magic and wonder. Definitely a great bedtime story for young school-aged kids, I think. Near the end, it sure could finish at many points, but instead goes on and on. "

" OOOH!! I loved this book. It's good old-fashioned fantasy of the best kind. It's all about imagination with a little bit of the usual difficulties thrown in and, of course, a very happy ending. If you are a Nesbit fan and haven't read this yet, please do. "

" This was excellent. An enchanting story by an excellent reader. Ruth is one of Librivox's best - and its all available for free from archive dot com. "

" A really fun children's book. Great to read since it's hard to find. There are some strange lines that appear out of place in the book, but for a free book it's worth a shot if you enjoy children's fantasy books. "

" Published in 1910, it established many ideas taken up again by later fantasies, like Tom's Midnight Garden and Knight's Castle. "

" Delightful! :) "

" I loved this book!!! I picked it up and almost didn't put it down until I went to bed but sadly I had to eat and do other things but I finished it in about 3 days!!!!Its a wonderful book I love it!!! ~ Hannah 2/10/12 "

" Read this when I was younger. An ok read but I always found the main characters to be miniature adults..a little too wellbehaved.But I guess its something to do with the era wich it was written. "

" Another gem from one of our favorite authors. Full of adventure and fun images. "

" This was brilliantly written and the whole idea of making a toy city and having it turn to life is wonderful. One of her best. "

" Read with daughter, she couldn't get into it. Finished it on my own. Rereading it in less than seven months later on might raise the rating a bit :) "

" One of Nesbit's weaker novels. I consider the Railway Children to be her best written book, followed by the Treasure Seekers series (the Treasure Seekers, the Wouldbegoods, etc...), then the Psammead series (Five Children and It, the Phoenix and the Carpet, and the Amulet). "

" I'd never heard of this title until I came across it in a used book store. It's rather a clever fantasy, written with Nesbit's usual good humor. "

" I don't really remember what it was about, except for that I read it in, like, first grade and loved it. And I love E. Nesbit, so I'm sure it was amazing. "

" This isn't Nesbit's greatest book, but it's still highly entertaining, and shows clearly the kind of debt that later children's authors owe her: Lemony Snicket especially resembles her style in this book. "

" I loved how Philip entered a city of blocks, was assigned seven deeds, completed them, and saved a girl named Lucy. This book had a lot of adventure. "

" This is really a great book. And the relationship between the boy and stepsister is fun to watch grow. "

" A charming adventure for children of all ages. "

" An enjoyable read for child and adult. A little dated in its language, but a good read none-the-less. The Kidz enjoyed it too. "
