The Lost Track of Time by Paige Britt
4.0
Deceptively sophisticated homage to The Phantom Tollbooth, with a lovely message about creativity and the forces that impede it.
Lots of word play, beautiful illustrations, and just about every proverb/slogan/cliche/turn of phrase about time that exists. I could see a teacher using this for a very fun Language Arts unit that would help kids enjoy words. Oh wait, they can't do that because states are impeding creativity with testing, testing, testing. Bummer.
Thanks to Scholastic for providing a fully published copy of this wonderful book at their brunch during the Texas Library Association. I was honored to hear Britt, Martha Brockenbrough, and Spencer Quinn present part of the story, and I dove right in when I got home.
