renaeann 's review for:

The Dark by Lemony Snicket
5.0

What a wonderful children’s book. Its gift is its empathy. It never pooh-poohs the child for being afraid of the dark; it takes this fear seriously and portrays the dark in all its creepiness. But it also gently suggests that Laszlo has what he needs to confront the dark - and even that the dark can be a benevolent figure. This book is a keeper.
