From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2-- These 15 stories are winners in a contest which invited British children to write a bedtime story for Prince Henry of Wales. The proceeds from the book will go to UNICEF. As the authors' ages range from 7 to 15, so do the writing skills vary--from one youngster's phonetic spelling in a "Dinasores" story to the clever "Nigel the Naughty Spider." There is no lack of imagination here, as hippos get stuck in fruit bowls, spaceships are constructed from matchboxes, and King Midas wishes for a "jelly" touch. Creatures solve problems of lost boots, neck knots, and the high cost of Swedish oranges. The male gender predominates, even in animals. Each story is illustrated with one or more pictures in styles as varied as the authors' creations. A winning collection for UNICEF and Prince Harry. --Jane Saliers, Atlanta-Fulton Public Library
