Yes, another 'children's book'! But I picked it up on CD at the library for a long car trip, thinking it might be something my son and I would enjoy, and we did! First of all, do not miss the introduction by Gaiman who explains why short story collections are so great! We liked "Don't Ask Jack" which was really spooky, and my son loved "Chivalry" which was hysterically funny, and "The Witch's Headstone" makes me want to find "The Graveyard Book" and read it. (Actually this BOT (book on tape) made want to read a lot more by Neil Gaiman! Finally, and NOT least, the author reads the stories himself, and he is marvelous! He is great with dialects and voices. I could listen to him read all day.
