<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Lazlo is afraid of the dark which lives in the same big, creaky house as him, until one night the dark pays him a visit. With emotional insight and poetic economy, two award-winning talents team up to conquer a universal childhood fear. Full color. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> Laszlo is afraid of the dark. <p/>The dark lives in the same house as Laszlo. Mostly, though, the dark stays in the basement and doesn't come into Lazslo's room. But one night, it does. <p/>This is the story of how Laszlo stops being afraid of the dark. <p/>With emotional insight and poetic economy, two award-winning talents team up to conquer a universal childhood fear. <p/> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b><i>New York Times </i>Best Illustrated<br></b><b>2014 Charlotte Zolotow Award Winner</b><b>A <i>School Library Journal</i> Best Book of the Year</b><b>A <i>Publishers Weekly</i> Best Book of the Year</b><b>ALSC Notable Books for Children</b> <p/> </br></br>* An offbeat -- and spookily atmospheric -- approach to fear of the dark, with a creative story and high-impact artwork...an enjoyable thrill.--<i><b>The Bulletin, starred review</b></i> </br></br>* Readers are going to want to read this one over and over.--<i><b>Library Media Connection, starred review</b></i> </br></br>*In its willingness to acknowledge the darkness, and the elegant art of that acknowledgment, The Dark pays profound respect to the immediacy of childhood experiences.--<i><b>Booklist, starred review</b></i> </br></br>*Snicket and Klassen present a picture book that tackles a basic childhood worry with suspense, a dash of humor, and a satisfying resolution.--<i><b>School Library Journal, starred review</b></i> </br></br>*While it might not combat fear of the dark, it's an ingenius introduction to horror movie--style catharsis, and a memorable ride on the emotional roller coaster that great storytelling creates.--<i><b>Publishers Weekly, starred review</b></i> </br></br>*With his command of language, tone, and pacing, Snicket creates the perfect antidote to a universal fear. Klassen's spare gouache and digital illustrations in a quiet black, brown, and white palette (contrasted with Laszlo's light blue footy pajamas and the yellow light bulb) are well suited for a book about the unseen. Using simple black lines and color contrasts to provide atmosphere and depth, Klassen captures the essence of Snicket's story. <p/>--<i><b>The Horn Book, starred review</b></i> </br></br>Laszlo, though a new creation for this story, somehow seems satisfyingly familiar.--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Lemony Snicket</b> had an unusual education and a perplexing youth and now endures a despondent adulthood. His previous published works include <i>All the Wrong Questions</i>, the thirteen volumes in <i>A Series of Unfortunate Events</i>, <i>The Composer is Dead</i>, and <i>13 Words</i>.
