Book Reviews of Danny Dunn and the Anti-Gravity Paint (A Young Pioneer Book)
Book Review: The Book That Got Me Interested In Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book in the third grade, and I vividly recall how it opened up the world of literature for me -- it made me realize that books told stories, that they weren't simply these things you had to have for school and carry around. The tale was interesting and imaginative (after all, who DOESN'T want to be able to float around, like you're swimming in the air?), and led me first to the other Danny Dunn books, and then into the wide world of reading. This book saved one little kid (me) from condemnation to eternal television, thus justifying completely the author's efforts.And after I read this book, I really had to question the conditions I saw in shows such as Lost In Space and Star Trek. How, in the middle of space like that, did their vessels all have gravity? Golly, it's astounding what reading will do for a young person's mind!
