Американец Нортон Джастер был вполне взрослым человеком и даже известным архитектором, когда вдруг придумал волшебную сказку "Мило и волшебная будка", которая сразу же принесла ему писательскую славу. Это полная невероятных приключений и озорной словесной игры история про удивительное путешествие в волшебные страны, где буквы растут в огородах, а числа добывают в подземных копях, где все звуки собраны в хранилище, а рассветом можно дирижировать. Непоседливый мальчик Мило неизвестно от кого получает в подарок… будку. Волшебную будку для сбора дорожной пошлины. Нужно опустить в специальную ячейку денежку, входящую в комплект, – и ты попадаешь в интересную местность, где встречаются такие топонимы, как Словаренция, Числовенция, Море знаний, а также Скукотища и Горы Невежества. Проехав по этим удивительным местам вместе с псом-будильником и жуком Ляпсусом, посидев в тюрьме, познав чудеса Леса Зрелищ и долины Созвучий и освободив из заточения принцесс Мудрость и Поэзию, Мило узнает, как важно учиться и как плохо бывает, когда не знаешь того, что должен знать. Дидактическая по своей сути книжка Нортона Джастера радует не только ненавязчивостью и юмором, но и особой сумасшедшинкой, которая отличает лучшие детские книги - "Алису в Стране чудес", "Винни-Пуха" и "Карлсона". Попробуйте не полюбить книжку, в которой, к примеру, гостей угощают "печатными пряниками с прописными истинами", а дети не ходят по земле, а висят в воздухе, приучаясь сразу смотреть на все "со взрослой точки зрения" и готовясь "прочно встать на ноги" уже потом, когда дорастут до земли!
