YMMV / Kid Stuff

• Unintentional Period Piece: The media Prestiss states children believe in now. A child today would know Dick Tracy and Superman, but the others... not so much.
• Values Resonance: Prentiss’ defense of fantasy literature as a serious genre, and of his writing the same as serious work, resonates with modern readers more than with Asimov’s contemporaries in The '50s; as fantasy literature for adults, teens, and even children Junior’s age has become more prevalent in recent decades.
