I love Jon Klassen's illustrations. He's one of those author-illustrators who you look at and he's immediately identifiable.
Jon's stories for readers 10+ tend to be very quirky and a little scary. I am always intrigued by him. I wouldn't read this one to my 4 year old as he has a very active and imaginative mind at the moment, and I don't think I'm ready to deal with the possible nightmares he might experience. I will attempt this with him in a few years though, purely because I believe all humans should experience a wide range of literature and Jon has proven to be diverse from the mainstream.
