This week, Hannah takes Stephanie back to her childhood with the podcast’s first children’s book: The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster! But will adult Stephanie have enough whimsy to enjoy the ride into the Lands Beyond?  Milo, home from school with nothing to do, is bored. Then a mysterious package arrives in his room, taking him to the Kingdom of Wisdom bereft of its Princesses, Rhyme and Reason. Milo’s journey to restore the princesses is rife with word-play and whimsical adventures as he learns just how fun it can be to learn. Join Hannah and Stephanie this week as they discuss puns, learning, strange 70s cartoons, and the experience of reading children’s book for the first time as an adult.  Resources: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/17/broken-kingdom  https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/63166/11-whimsical-facts-about-phantom-tollbooth  Support this show by subscribing and leaving a review!  You can support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/hatethisbookpod  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram  Write to us at [email protected] Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
