Indeed! My dad used to steal plots to tell as stories to my brother and me in the car. (The other one I remember strongly is Pohl Anderson's Tau Zero.) This was a favorite of mine to ask for, and later became a favorite when I was old enough to read the original. The only book with stronger happy early childhood memories is The Hobbit, and the first sentence of that is just too obvious.
