Esio Trot & the Minpins

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Ronald Dahl Imagination!!!
Review: I really like the idea of postage stamp-sized windows and doors opening in a huge tree, and tiny people in suction-cup boots walking out and strolling through the ceiling of the forest. I like the idea of a swan big enough to carry a not-so-small boy while flying. "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

Summary: Very good. Many intense moments.
Review: I thought that it was cool how the minpins had whole villages in the Forest of Sin. It was also neat how Little Billy could fly on a swan. I wonder what the Splitter looked like because it never had a description in the book

Summary: Interesting, exciting
Review: It was a good book, of little people who lived up high in trees. It's impresseve how Dahl created a world of his own( like most of his books do). I think every one should have read it least one of Roald Dahl's books, like this one.

Summary: Wonderful Ronald Dahl Imagination!!!
Review: My 6 year old loves this book! Brought it home from the library again and it was the first one she picked up. This is typical of Ronald Dahl's amazing imagination, the little people with homes inside the trees and using the birds to travel; it's wonderful! I would recommend this book for most children, though for some, the beast at the beginning may be a little scary. It's a great "read to" book.

Summary: Third Graders at Montclaire School loved "The Minpins"!
Review: My third graders had just come in from our Halloween Parade to sit on the floor and listen to "The Minpins." I had 100% riveted attention as I read the story. This is not usually a day when such focus is possible. I am so glad that I chose to share "The Minpins" as part of our Halloween Day preparations!

Summary: This is a great fantasy book!
Review: This book starts with a mother forbidding her son to enter the "Forest of Sin." Will he find monsters, friends or both? Many interesting things happen on the night adventures that young Billy takes. Does anyone know about them? This is Roald Dahl's only picture book. It has been beautifully illustrated by Patrick Benson who resides in England. Let this book take you on a trip with little people and an adventure you will not soon forget.

Summary: Great book!
Review: We love this book. One of my daughters, who loves fantasy, asks us to read this to her about once a week. The story totally captures a childs imagination. A child will never look at the trees in their yard the same way again.
