4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful and nighmarish, 1 Aug 2009
By Alexandra B (Shrewsbury, UK) - See all my reviews
It's a book of gorgeous art, however it's also very insubstantial. I'm not quite sure who I'd recommend this to - I normally associate Gaiman's stuff with something to get my teeth into, as it were, but this is basically just 50 lines or so of charming doggerel verse, with some cute pictures. It has made a nice talking point for house visitors, though, some of whom have never read any Gaiman, so it does have its uses!
