  This is a massive book that both adults and kids can enjoy together. There are some elements that may not be appropriate for really small children, but that is maybe one or two stories out of the entire collection. I honestly and truly tried to find something to say I didn't like about the book, but I couldn't do it. It's not a 400 plus page narrative, it's a collection with the same overall theme of sci-fi or futuristic elements. You may not be completely sold on one story, but you turn the page and there is one that completely blows you away. No matter your tastes, there's something for you in this. I cannot recommend this highly enough and give it a 5/5 because that is as high as it goes. Read Full Review

  Once Upon a Time Machine is a hefty collection that works for any age. It's a great read for somebody with interest in either fairy tales or science fiction as it hits all the finer points of both genres adequately. There are stories that don't work fantastically, or fail to impress visually, but those are balanced out by a Santa sack full of smart and artfully depicted reimaginings of timeless and more recent classics.
