It’s too wordy and a little dark for younger children, though, like most Ray Bradbury books, has a style that appeals to the child in adults. The text and illustrations merge together so that the words become part of the picture and vice-versa—though the angularity of lines and melancholy tones make them sometimes harsh to view, it is easy to overlook this in favor of this merging. There isn’t really a happy ending, with Timothy, left to deal with his unique mortality, wonders whether he will be alive to see the next family reunion. Adults and older children might enjoy the unusual question, suggested by Uncle Eisner, as to whether it is better to be immortal or to “live least, [with] worth more per ounce.” Though too dark for children and probably better suited to its original short story format, but this story could be useful for teens as its picture book lay-out makes reading less intimidating.

That being said, the illustrations and page design by McKean are a perfect match to Bradbury's prose. Both are just slightly creepy, but not overly horrifying, so the reader is fully engaged and interested by this uniquely entertaining story. (
