"Readers with a taste for the eerie should ignore the advice proffered in this book's title."
     —Publishers Weekly

"This is the best way to do an anthology, not with heavy-handed representation by country but with a collection of great stories connected by an exciting theme. Well-known English-language children's writers … are at the top of their form … a great read-aloud."
     —Booklist

"Most of these stories would fit well on an episode of The Twilight Zone."
