Best book I ever read. Thank you and bless you Nortan Jester.
This is my favorite book, maybe ever. My dogs name is Milo. Only he came with that name. Dumb luck. These two old dudes look fantastic and I feel younger now that they are still around. :)
My 6 year old daughters favorite book! She will love watching this segment!
Love this book... I have a copy. It's, well timeless. Thanks Sunday Morning☺🎆
Love this book beyond measure! My grandfather worked on this movie (special effects). He brought in the hard cover book and had the crew sign it. I still have the book, it’s precious!
Didn’t know they were both alive! So great to see them. I read the phantom tollbooth in junior high. Loved this book still decades later.
Actually, the report comes from 2012, currently only Jules R Feiffer (born 26 January 1929) is still with us ...

To me this was SO much more than a book. I read it as a child, re-read as a teen, probably once in college and at least once or twice thereafter. At one point, I had a huge disruption in my life and lost pretty much all possessions - as I rebuilt, I assembled those lost items which had meant a lot to me, among them were books. The Phantom Tollbooth (and The Little Prince) were early on that list.
Very cool! Don't know how I missed finding out about the book and film adaptation, growing up in the 80s? 🤔 Glad to find out about it now, in the 2020s!
My favorite book. I took my nickname from the main character. RIP Norton, you will live on through your classic book. And what a great book it is.
One of my favorite books 💙. The wordplay, the art...The Phantom Tollbooth is a classic.
I have the book and fell deep in love with the movie.
Finished the audiobook today, loved it.
I miss Charles Kauralt and his "On the Road" segments...
My wonderful 4th grade teacher introduced me to this book, which I read and may still have somewhere. My condolences go out to the family and also to the many readers of this fabulous book.
I've not heard of this book before, but I'm going to read it.
Same here!
Feel like I really missed out, but will go check it out ASAP! 😊👍
Looks like my link to Berkeley Breathed's FB post about this author and illustrator was removed for whatever reason?
So I'll just copy and paste what he wrote instead.
The Phantom Tollbooth was the first chapter book that captured and wholly ensnared the imagination of a nascent pre-cartoonist BB at the age of ten. The book, as many of you know, is illustrated by Jules Feiffer… the cartoonist who most inspired the style Garry Trudeau brought to Doonesbury. Garry’s style, partly born from Feiffer’s, was the immediate inspiration to the style that became Bloom County. The first character of Bloom County was named Milo Bloom…. named after 'Milo' from The Phantom Tollbooth. My son Milo was named after same. The first chapter book I gave him was The Phantom Tollbooth.
He said, “Dad, look. Same name as mine! How about that. “
How indeed.
Thank you Norton and fare thee well. -bb
Dont forget, Chuck Jones brought the book to life with his animated film version. He had experience decades earlier with his animated short HORTON HATCHES AN EGG! He even has a cameo in the film. Watch in the opening sequence shot around San Francisco as the young boy walks by a streetcar. One of the passengers sitting towards the camera? Yup, that's Chuck Jones! 😎🇵🇷🇺🇸📽😉🦂
😲 Nice! I only just caught the film version here on UA-cam recently and just learning more about the book! Don't know how I totally missed it when I was a kid!? Better late than never! 😊👍
I remember reading this book back in middle school.
Entertaining and deep book.
yes ❤
I had this book when I was a kid in the 80s. I remember liking it but I don't remember much about the story. I know that illustration of the Humbug gives me the creeps for some reason though.
The first real book that I ever read in 5th grade
Shared in Books Gone Wild (BGW) “Flash Us Your Books” = a FaceBook group...
It sounds like my story
The absurd work contrastingly fill because maraca typically crash amongst a bite-sized innocent. sick, telling wire
With the rest in the day we are not alone and I want $10k
This novel is the worst novel in this world I don't like characters of this novel
