I absolutely loved the illustrations, they were really beautiful and I loved to see them. Well I would re...
The Dark is an imaginative tale that perfectly explains why there is no reason for anyone - especially young children - to be afraid of the dark.

Full review at http://thebookshelfgargoyle.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/mad-marthas-haiku-review-jon-klassens-classics/This is the definitive cautionary tale about hat theft and its consequences. Highly recommended.
Perfect pairing of author and illustrator, where each really enlarges the work of the other. Perfect.The audio book is also fabulous, for those with really young kids who might enjoy hearing it read repeatedly.Library copy.
