Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-19 00:00:00 Keith Malone I have found that at my most recent school, factoring time in for reading aloud to the class can be incredibly difficult to do. However, books of short stories like this one are perfect for dipping in and dipping out of. The children in my class love anything that is funny and a bit ridiculous! One warning I will give you is that the story "Christmas at Aunt Fidgit Wonkham-Strong's", by Russell Hobam contains the word pervert and a beautifully described nude ladies swimming club called the polar bare club - which in my year 3 class i deemed not suitable for fear of inadvertently introducing new playground vocabulary and sending them hysterical - I enjoyed it though!! The stories are selected and illustrated widly by Quentin Blake, and are written by authors such as Lewis Carroll, James Thurber, Edward Lear, Jane Austen, Noel Coward, and Evelyn Waugh. A great opportunity to expose myself and the children to authors i might otherwise pass by.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-16 00:00:00 Jesse Holcknecht Una colección de relatos de ciencia ficción de la vieja escuela que tratan de contactos con estrambóticas razas alienígenas, la autorreplicación aplicada a máquinas o qué hacer con la vida en mundos muy contaminados (introduciendo varias veces el trabajo de descontaminador). Mi favorito ha sido ¿Podemos hablar un rato?, hermano espiritual de Babel-17 y La historia de tu vida, que me ha recordado mucho al videojuego Out There en cuanto a las consecuencias de no entender bien los idiomas alienígenas.
