Today, after reading the Phantom Tollbooth, we decided to try and interview the characters in chapter 12 and 13. Here are some questions and inferred responses the children wrote.

Q. Soundkeeper, why do you keep all the sounds?

A. I keep the sounds safe.

Q. Dynne, why do you like bad noises better?

A. Because all the good noises were used a long time ago, so more people like bad noises instead of good noises.

Q. Dynne, why do you work with Dr. Kakafonous Dischord?

A. Because I love the sounds that he likes. Plus, good sounds are bad and bad sounds are good sound.

Q. Soundkeeper, why do you not like sound?

A. Because I do not want there to be a lot of commotion, so I will not let them out.

There were many more great questions and responses. Check with your child to hear what they wrote!
