C.S. Lewis once said that if a book for children didn't also appeal to adults, it probably wasn't worth reading. If Russell Hoban wrote a book, I read it to my kids. If Quentin Blake illustrated a book, I read it to my kids (and also if he wrote it!). And then I'd look back through them on my own. Now I'm giving them as gifts to my own grandchildren. Greasy Bloaters? Aunt Cozysweet Bundlejoy? No great lesson, here--just a really fun book!

Highly enjoyable for children and adults
... and takes a nicely relaxed view of striving. On the whole, it's against it and for enjoying yourself.
