Book similar to The Phantom Tollbooth and The wizard of Oz?

By Garden

I just reread The Phantom Tollbooth for the first time since fourth grade, and I swear it went way over my head back then. I’ve always loved The Wizard of Oz and I end up rereading it pretty often. I’m trying to find something else with that same kind of whimsical, magical vibe—almost like it’s simple on the surface but there’s more going on the longer you stare at it. I read The Neverending Story and liked it, but it didn’t fully hit the spot. Alice in Wonderland got closer, but not exactly. Any suggestions?
