The Dark by Lemony Snicket
The Dark by Lemony Snicket is a spooky picture book that promotes courage, independence and overcoming fears.
The dark frightens Lazlo. One night his nightlight goes out and the dark visits him and says “I want to show you something.”
Lazlo tentatively follows the darks, with his torch, instructions through the dark house into the basement where he thinks dark lives, where the dark leads Lazlo to a drawer full of light bulbs.
