'I think this is the finest collection of Van het Reve essays there is. In every essay he analyzes a widely held belief. For example: At Philips they could make a lamp that burns for years, but they don't, because then they won't sell any more. Very rational but also funny, Van het Reve explains why this is nonsense.' — Paulien Cornelisse

'A slightly scary picture book about what can happen when you think you're just sleeping. Sendak is best known for Max and the Maximonsters but I actually like this book better because of the everyday things that magically shine in the night kitchen.' — Paulien Cornelisse
