Book Reviews of The Dark (Classic Munsch)
Book Review: Slightly creepy but great
Summary: 5 Stars
Yet another classic children's story with fresh ideas proving that Robert Munsch can do no wrong.
In this story, a young girl opens up an otherwise empty cookie jar to discover that a Dark is hiding out at the bottom of it. When the Dark falls out onto the kitchen floor, it begins eating shadows, growing larger with each shadow, until it eventually eats all the shadows in the neighborhood and rests atop the young girl's house. The girl eventually finds a shadow the Dark failed to eat and uses this to entice the Dark into a trap, thus saving the day for all affected!
The story is simple, straightforward, yet highly intriguing for adults and children alike. The illustrations are classic Martchenko- colorful, vivid, moving the story along, filled with details that kids love to study. Younger kids can be a little intimidated by the Dark when it first appears, but the light tone throughout prevents the story from becoming outright scary.
Another winner for the incomparable Munsch/Martchenko duo!
Summary of The Dark (Classic Munsch)
Jule Ann pounds on the bottom of a cookie jar, and a small dark lump bounces out. The Dark quickly gobbles up every shadow in sight, growing bigger with each one. Munsch's plucky heroine resolves the perplexing problem with brilliant, spirited logic.
