Reseñas de la Crítica

"In his first book for children, McEwan dextrously presents a series of strange and wonderful metamorphoses. His vivid and poetic writing, celebrating the creative abilities of a gifted 10-year-old, reveals a profound understanding of childhood." (Publishers Weekly)
"A delightful blend of serious whimsy and hilarious gravity." (School Library Journal)
"Mr. McEwan at his best." (The New York Times Book Review)

Masterful collection of stories rated PG to NSFL

All of these stories include children. The Daydreamer is the longest and might be good for a serious tween reader. Most of the other stories could be disturbing even for adults, and not appropriate for children. Topics include sexual assault, rape, incest,between siblings, murder, and tragic accidental death. At least one is over the top. You have been warned.

So enjoyable

A short book full of Fun and creative and dreamy stories full of adventure and hope

Charming and Sweet!!!

What an interesting and creative idea for a book.
Certain short tales of daydreams I deeply enjoyed. Especially, William Cat. This story struck a nerve and I smiled throughout the entire thing.

Great narration!
Great production!
