I loved this. I have found it interesting how much more my son talks about books after we have finished them when the book is excellent. This is one he'll ask questions about for days after, as is we found a hat.

Fantastic illustrations from Lemony Snicket accompany a gentle story about over coming a fear of the dark.

I enjoyed this simple, but powerful, story about overcoming your fears. The story was suitably creepy in parts and Jon Klassen's art blended with it perfectly.
I would recommend this book to children in Y2+.

A picture book exploring the dark from a young child's perspective. The reader is taken on a journey through the child's home, seeing it through his eyes and thoughts. Along with Jon Klassen's striking pictures (using contrasting light and dark), the book reveals the power of the imagination in a simple, everyday setting.

It was a little strange, the pictures were cool. I think it would help Children who are scared of the dark.

I like this book because it makes you think about how the dark can be scary but when you think about it there is really nothing to be scared of really and is actually needed.

It's wasn't the type of book I was expecting so I wasn't that keen on it but I like other lemony sniket books

The pictures in this book are lovely and the story is nice. It's about being scared of the dark, which I'm not but it's just a lovely book in every way.
