The Annotated Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (Illustrations by Jules Feiffer) Annotations by Leonard S. Marcus
The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (read by Rainn Wilson)
A favorite since it was read to the class in 4th grade. I bought the 50th anniversary annotated edition a few years ago and never got around to reading it.

I gave up and bought the audio version.

Task 2: Get out and play any children's game: hopscotch, jump rope, tag, yo yo – anything.
Taking a pass on this one.
