The Dark is a wonderful book for children who are afraid of the dark. It is a lovely book to read out loud or read by a child who need to face the dark. As an adult, I don't like the dark either. It played into our mind about the hidden and things that might scare us. And this is how a boy deal ...
Genre: Fear / Courage / Bedtime Year Published: 2013 Year Read: 2014 Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Now, I will admit that I have not read any of Lemony Snicket’s works before (not even his famous “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series), so consider Lemony Snicket’s children’s boo...
Laszlo is a young boy who's afraid of the dark. The dark spends all day in the basement until night comes and it can come out. Like all Snicket books, this doesn't go where you think it's going to but also like many, it turns out better then you imagined. His text and Jon Klassen's artwork works per...
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. Snicket personifies the dark, but not in the way that one would expect; instead of a sinister, terrifying being, the dark is welcoming, kind, and wise. It...
Laszlo is afraid of the dark. The dark is not afraid of Laszlo. Laszlo lives in a house. The dark lives in the basement. One night, the dark comes upstairs to Laszlo's room, and Laszlo goes down to the basement.This is the story of how Laszlo stops being afraid of the dark. The Dark is a perfect r...
The build-up in this children's book was genuinely creepy, but I expected a disappointing ending as it was for children after all, and Snicket has a reputation for being cheeky and a bit off-the-wall. The ending did not challenge my expectations.
Not bad. I hesitated to read this to Sigourney, thinking it might ruin darkness for her. She got through it just fine, and I actually think the book does a good job of showing that darkness is, well, dark. There's nothing inherently scary or evil about it.Personally, I found the artwork slightly dul...
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.
If the dark ever spoke to me I'd be even more terrified. In this book, dark is like your creepy Uncle Pete who always asks you to open his bottom drawer (oh, shut up).
