I remember buying this in the beginning of my 9th grade. I forget about it and as years had passed and always araging my books I always said "I am gonna read it!" and didn't do it "it's a short book!" but is never too late to see a dream come true. (A dream is more powerful than a thousand realities!)
I did unfortunately bought it in my native language (Romanian) but luckily it was translated and had notes from English version in English sometimes!
A well-known introduced in Tolkien's world will observe a lot of the leitmotifs of his writing, still it is a very fastinating way of how he transform the real world into this creation. He still inspire me to write against all the odds of not having any idea for a new poetry, but when I read his lovely and kind descriptions and his humour, I start working on my ideas! Some are good some are not, but with all my heart read this for your children and for yourself.
As a psychology student I am amazed by his imagination and the way of seeing world and make writing a place with no restrictions, because nowdays I think it is a censore between the one who creates and the one that receive the creation, 'simplicity and your own way' a subtle suggestion of his work is the best!
I digress! Back to the story, my favourite?! Moon landing world is amazing! It felt for me like a home, like a proper one! The sea one actually made me very uncomfortable especially because creatures where mad for one reason or another (but that's just my opinion). I liked the-man-from-the-moon (is that a proper translation?!) and the-sea-dog a lot.
I am stoping with the spoilers! I don't like giving spoilers, there's a lot to say about this little story and deserves a place in your reading list.
