The drawings are beautiful and I even felt creeped out by them, when it was appropriate to, as the boy makes his way through the dark house. (Don't worry about him: he has a flashlight.) The text is great and because I am a words-person and not a visual one, the last sentence at the bottom of the only page that is all words had me smiling and paging back to spot something very important that I'd missed, of course, in one of the illustrations. Then my smile got even bigger as I saw the smile of ... but that would be giving too much away.

This is probably a good book for kids scared of the dark. But at the same time I know as an adult it still won’t cure my own fear.

I didn't know I needed this today.

I liked the illustrations and thought the book was cute, but nothing special. Also this would have made me more afraid of the dark as a child....
