...why buy this when you can get it in other Asimov books along with many other excellent stories? This short story, which can be equally enjoyed by adults and children and is a good way to introduce the latter to science fiction, while certainly a genre classic, is widely available in several different anthologies. For example, you can read it in Asimov's monumental collection The Complete Stories, Volume 1. That said, if you want to own this particular story by itself - a good idea if you're planning on handing it to children, as it is small and lavishly illustrated -, or if you are an Asimov completist, then you will want this nifty and hard-to-find item.
