I found this collection of short stories quite mixed. Some had really interesting plots amd seemed very magical while others felt underdeveloped and incoherent.

Animals: 4/5, I found the plot very unique and quite intriguing
Jacob: 5/5
Plum Pie, Zombie Green, Yellow Bee, Purple Monster: 2/5
In the Dark: 2/5

I think I'm going to have to reread this book at some point, because I really like it but I don't think I get it.
