The Thirteen Clocks

I just finished a children's book called The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber. It was quite different. It was a fairy tale of sorts. It was a tad bit scary for children under 12 though. The characters were the best part of the book. I would recommend reading it if you have about 1 hr. It is a "chapter book" but is quite small with illustrations. From a scale of 1-5, I would give it a 2.
