Have you seen The Dot and the Line movie by Chuck Jones and written by Norton Juster? It's soooooo amazing. Saw it yesterday at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens where there is an amazing exhibit of Chuck Jones including The Phantom Tollbooth (film). Go if you can! It's such a magical and fun place.

âÂÂI had no interest in becoming a writer,â Norton Juster said. âÂÂI was really using it to get away from doing something I was supposed to be doing â which I find is one of the great motivations in my life.â The result was his first book, the childrenâÂÂs classic, âÂÂThe Phantom Tollbooth.â Published in 1961, it confounded adult experts â his editors worried that it would be a flop, Juster said, because of its sophisticated vocabulary, dizzying wordplay, inventive idea-driven plot, and âÂÂto top it off â because fantasy is bad for children, because it disorients them.âÂÂ
Any Phantom Tollbooth fans in the Boston area? Norton Juster will speak at the Boston Public Library on Wednesday. Check out this interview with the Boston Globe!
Recapture all of that youthful wonder.
Look who made the list!
Map of the Kingdom of Wisdom, from âThe Phantom Tollboothâ
As a kid, I loved fantasy books with maps in them. Really, I still do.
Youâll find that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and thatâs hardly worth the effort.

The Terrible Trivium. Demon of petty tasks and worthless jobs. Ogre of wasted efforts. And friend to lazy and foolish people everywhere.
