A gift to my OBCZ. ?áPretty. ?áValid message. ?áShaped like a picture book, but lots of text and fairly sophisticated ideas. ?áI can't guess whether you'd like it, but I found it to be flavored like an?á'instant classic' and just as instantly forgettable.

Even a decade after I first read this book it hasn't lost its power to floor me. Both the narrative and illustrations are spellbinding, and the poetry in the language of first page alone knocks the breath out of me every time I read it. Calling Through the Mickle Woods a "children's book" is criminal; it's simply one of the best things I've ever read. It is well, well, well worth seeking out a copy to own.

Very cute book., I read it to a 5th grade class. They loved it because they are at the age where some have a boyfriend/girlfriend, and some don't, but they all are wondering who likes who.

This is an odd example of fantasy because the giants, animals and other scary things that come out of the small door are in her imagination but still interact with her. We get to know Kate through her imagination of what comes out of the door and what she says.
