it was amazing

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. They each left me feeling...some kinda way, lol. My favorite was by FAR "Squid Who Fell in Love with the Sun". INCREDIBLE, it brought tears to my eyes. I'd buy a framed poster of this story and put it on my wall to be read whenever I felt like stopping and thinking. My only advice, buy the hard copy. This is a book you need to be able to hold.

A.D. I had the pleasure of hearing the author read this story during a creative writing workshop, and I knew I had to have this book! While many of the stories aren't appropriate for children, I read "Squid" and "The Dodo" with my six-year-old, and now we both love them!
