This was one of the first books that sparked my imagination and got me interested in books as a child. My Mom would read this book to my sisters and I, often they would fall asleep and we would continue on. I slept on the top bunk and stared out the window as the the beginning of the school year turned into October. An image of a full moon is always associated with my memory of this book, perhaps I thought I would see Miss Switch flying on her broom. I also remember looking at my teachers differently after this. I highly recommend this book to children. ( )
