What an interesting story about Tom and his adventures! Also was surprised that the author was an illustrator and made the illustrations of the book. Thanks for this review!

As a children's book positive messages are important in shaping the mind of the young and impressionable, and seeing as there is clever use of poetry, it could be used as an educational tool as well. I've always liked fantasy and as a child I would've loved to get my hands on this book.

The book is very interesting. At the end of the maze, he learns that who and what he imagined the "King of All Monsters" to be is none other than a representative of law and order. Tom also realizes that if one wishes to find his way through the "Law and Order" maze, he must first master his own skills of self-discipline. This realization helps Tom find his way to the world where he belongs and his path back home.

This book seems like it was inspired by Alice in Wonderland. However, the inconsistent rhyming pattern needs some revision.

Thanks for your thoughtful review.

I feel Tom's pain. If I could make a living sleeping, I totally would. This sounds cute, and I love the illustrations. Thanks for a great review.

Same here! If only we could get paid to sleep.
