"One of my friends suggested this book to me and I enjoyed it. I think its very creative,but I wish I would have read it when I was a kid. The only down fall to this book is that it is stereo-typical. I would recommend it to elementary children. This book honestly reminds me of Toy-Story. "

— Emma, 2/19/2014" Thoroughly enjoyable fantasy. "
— Ivan, 2/12/2014" I remember that this book was well written enough to freak me out a little, and it wasn't even a horror book. I was a sensitive child. I paused for a little bit before playing with doll house stuff...then got over and just embraced and loved the story. Another one I want my kids to read. "

— Connor, 1/31/2014" I thought it was a really nice (and unreal) story when I read it in fourth grade.I think the author was trying to show us how somethings have a great deal of responsibility even though it might seem reall EASY. "
— Ramisha, 1/31/2014" one of my childhood favorites "
— Amanda, 1/29/2014" Our whole family read this book as part of a family read that my daughters school did. It was a fun and interesting story, but I was a little disappointed that there was some profanity in what would otherwise have been a great kids book. "
— Eric, 1/28/2014" Another great grade school read "
— Erica, 1/20/2014" We are reading this as a family. Carter and Claire both enjoy it...we have to put William to bed before reading because he tries to disrupt the reading because he feels left out. "
— Daniel, 1/4/2014" one of the best stories I have read to my boys so far. They absolutley loved it and so did Grace "
