In questo libro Tim Burton, il regista di Ed Wood , Batman , Edward Mani di forbice , The Nightmare Before Christmas e Mars Attacks! , scrive ballate e poesie e le illustra con tratto lieve. Con la stregata malinconia che pervade i suoi film, Burton ricrea la magia degli antichi libri illustrati per ragazzi portandola in uno stralunato mondo di robot, mostri e dolenti assurdità, donando a questi figli del nostro tempo una irrevocabile grazia. Del resto tutta l'opera di Tim Burton è segnata da una cifra inequivocabile di orrore, comicità e insieme malinconia, che apparenta le sue figure di esseri sconfitti, o almeno colpiti da un'assoluta solitudine, alle invenzioni della grande arte e letteratura di tutti i tempi. I bambini protagonisti di questo libro sono poco più che Cose Animate, fragilissimi ma irriducibili nella loro voglia di vita, sempre sul punto di essere distrutti da qualche crudeltà di Adulto.
