"This may well be the strangest children's book ever, but I adore it and would force it upon my children. It's slightly creepy and frankly they refused to let me read them the story about the dolls that come to life and threaten to kill the children. Buy hey, plod on and keep reading because while that story may not be your cup of tea, there will definitely be another one in the collection which will speak to you. And the writing is so far above your typical children's book. It was a sheer delight to read out loud."
"What I love about this book is that it is so full of imagination. At times, I find it disturbing (like the one about the thief..I really thought the neighbor was the thief!). My favorite story in this book, is the one about the bully. It really got me thinking about how people probably act the way they are not because they want to, but because the environment put them in that position :-)"
