How did the Senses Taker distract Milo, Tock and Humbug from their mission?

people. Each one became engrossed and forgetting the real reason they came.

the wrong reasons.

letters imaginable, and after dinner songs and poems were recited about the great rescuers of
Rhyme and Reason.

looking out of his window?
Milo suddenly realized that although the tollbooth was gone, and he couldn’t travel to far away
lands, the world outside his window suddenly seemed quite different. He now knew there was so

there were books that could take you anywhere, teach you new things to build and invent,
music to play, and words to imagine and make real.

learning. He thinks everything is a waste of his time and learning is the biggest waste of time
of it all. Nothing excites or amuses him. At the end of the story Milo has completely changed.

wants to learn and experience new things. In the end Milo learned that life is worth discovering,
and that knowledge is the most valuable tool we can ever possess because it can take you
places you never thought possible.
