“Editors Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly have packed so much top-notch talent into this flabbergastingly funny all-ages comic collection that you'll have a terrible time deciding what to read first.” — amazon.com
“More benign picks include an exhausting maze game by Lewis Trondheim,
and Barbara McClintock's buoyant story of a shadow that breaks loose.” —
Publishers Weekly
“The stories run the gamut from the mildly quirky-such as Barbara McClintock's fanciful tale of a shadow that takes off on its own-to darker, more disturbing selections such as Jacques de Loustal and Paul Auster's “The Day I Disappeared.”— School Library Journal
