I re-read this book, because I remembered reading it as a child, and couldn't remember why I didn't like it very much. Oddly enough, while I'm giving this book four stars, mostly for the sake of nostalgia, I still don't like it, though I understand it better now as an adult, than I did as a child.

Right now it’s to share with her one of her moms favorite books while she cuddles with me to settle down for bed.

Granted, there are many outdated references for modern readers. Sometimes the sentence structure could also use a bit of polishing. However, that childhood wonder returned as I explored the stars along with Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which. There's so much potential out there, and I think L'Engle br ...more

I absolutely loved this book when I was a child and still enjoyed rereading it as an adult. This book is a fantastic tale with all the great ingredients!
