✦ Synopsis

"Short, uncomplicated action tales, which generally feature a child protagonist and a good swift shock at the end. Anne McCaffrey's fable of ""The Smallest Dragonboy"" and Terry and Carol Carr's ""Some Are Born Cats"" provide a bridge to a handful of more traditional adventures with aliens or in deep space. And, in Monster Tales, stories by Arthur Tofte, Brian Ball and Brian T. Lo Medico, assure reliable campfire entertainment." Kirkus Review
