I'll start with mentioning a couple forms of reading I sometimes do NOT like. I sometimes don't like short story collections that are written in a fashion requiring excessive reader "work" in constructing the environment. You figure out what's going on . . . and it's over and time to start the next story (I know this sounds lazy, but I do often read for RELAXATION). And, I sometimes do not enjoy science-fiction that is overly technical, or overwhelms me with bizarre foreign names, terms and political structures. This book is none of the above.

This is a wonderful collection of easy reading and imaginative sci-fi short stories. Fit for readers of any age, it is the kind of stuff that makes one hunger for more science fiction (or more Ray Bradbury, anyway).

I found myself looking forward to the world to be found in each successive story, and certainly was saddened to reach the end of the short book.

There is a sister work, "S is for Space", which is more of the same good stuff.

I promise you'll enjoy it.

I remember reading this when I was a kid. Frost and Fire ignited my imagination dreaming of spaceships and what it would be like to travel the galaxy. Highly recommended read.
