You might not recognize his name, but you know his work: The Phantom Tollbooth.
I read it to my sons, adopting different voices for all the characters: Tock had a growl, the Humbug sounded like W.C. Fields, etc. A brilliant and amusing book, filled with wordplay, number play and just plain silliness....but with a message about using rhyme and reason to resolve problems.
