Invasion plot from another dimension, using children's imagination as a vanguard, or 5th column. The kids plans & preparations are ignored as childish games, because that how adults treat children. A very traditional horror story. Because kids are creepy. You can imaging King writing it.
This one was cute but there's a theme developing here of kids murdering their parents.
I liked this one a lot. Weird that my favorite stories in this collection seem to be about murderous children. What would Freud say?
Did Brabury have children? He must have slept with one eye open at night wondering when they would come for him...
