I remember when I was in grade five and six my teacher read this book to my class at the end of the year for fun, (because obviously there wasn't much left to do). And like many of the other reviewers I remember it and have been looking for it for a very long time. I think its a wonderful book for children of any age. There is an adventurous nature mixed in with the fantasy, which makes it light and humorous if you are an adult, enthralling if you are a young child, and quite intriguing and conversation provoking when you are in or around your teens. Definitely a must have book for people of any age!

This book was read as a class project when I was 10 years old by one of my favorate teachers. Three years later, my sister had the same teacher and the same project. This became our favorate book, but we never saw a copy outside the classroom. We talked about it on occasion over the years and (we were now in our forties) my sister ran across it on Amazon and ordered copies for each of us. I received mine on Christmas morning (best present that year). We were able to enjoy reading it once again and pass it on to our children and hopefully our grandchildren when it's time. Highly recommended - it's a book you don't forget and those are rare indeed.

I read this story back in grade 4, and I never forgot how magical it was. Now, at the age of 19, I finally received it as a Christmas present from my sister. This story is by far one of the most magical stories I have ever read. It was fantastic, and completely unforgettable.

My second grade teacher read this exciting book to us. Thirty years later, I wanted to read it again to see why I liked it so much as a kid. (Remembering the title as "Og", I was thrilled Amazon carried it.) Well, it worked it's magic on me and a group of children I shared it with. They were as captivated as I was, at their age. It is truly a timeless book to share!

I can't believe I found this book again!!! I read this in elementary school multiple times and memories of it have always haunted me through the years. I'm now 52 and have tried for decades to remember the name of this book to no avail. Tonight I did a Google search and typed in "children's classic fantasy underground world" ... and I found it again! As soon as I saw the title I remembered it. So, I'm ordering it tonight and can't wait to share it with my 9 and 10 year old children.

Another classic I've enjoyed through the years is "The Princess and the Goblin" by George Mcdonald.

Like many of the other reviewers, this book was read to me by a teacher when I was about 9 or 10. It was magic! It is so cleverly written that it's easy for the reader to escape into the secret world under the playhouse themselves. Now that I'm a third grade teacher, I have read it to my classes and they, in turn, have also shown their appreciation for such a wonderful piece of writing! I'm so pleased to have found a copy for myself. It's difficult to come by in schools these days.

In the Secret World of Og by Pasty, five kids find a world under their play house. Penny gets captured with the Pollywog. Will they get out in time for supper? Find out in the out in the best book ever, the Secret World of Og. I like this book because the characters are on a mission to find Pollywog! The drawings are great because they go along with the words. If you like chapter books and adventures this is the book for you.

I read this book when I was 10 years old and the story was unbelievable! It is a book that when you are finished you are sad because you feel that you have left something behind. The story was so vivid that it was burned into my memory, though unfortunately there must not have been enough room for the title. I have spent many years trying to remember the name of the book so I could buy it for my daughter who is now 10 years old. I would recommend this book to all, young and old alike.

My mother read this book to me when I was a little girl and I loved it! There's a spectacular sense of adventure and imagination that challenges the reader to become involved with the characters. Out of the thousands of books I read as a young child, it was one of my favorites. I read it so often that my old copy is battered and missing a few pages. I've been searching for a new copy for years!

i first saw this book as a cartoon version on the old saturday morning specials...it looked like it was made in the early 80's or late 70's. i can't believe there is a book to go along with it. i was enthralled even as a middle school student with this wonderful story! when i am an elementary teacher i am definetely going to be bringing this book into the classroom! what a find!
