Reviews*"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."-- Booklist (Starred Review), *"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." -- The Horn Book (starred review), * "An offbeat -- and spookily atmospheric -- approach to fear of the dark, with a creative story and high-impact artwork...an enjoyable thrill.", *"Snicket and Klassen present a picture book that tackles a basic childhood worry with suspense, a dash of humor, and a satisfying resolution." -- School Library Journal, starred review, A 2014 Charlotte Zolotow Award Winner A New York Times Best Illustrated ALSC Notable Books for Children A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, * "An offbeat -- and spookily atmospheric -- approach to fear of the dark, with a creative story and high-impact artwork...an enjoyable thrill."-- The Bulletin, starred review, New York Times Best Illustrated 2014 Charlotte Zolotow Award Winner A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year ALSC Notable Books for Children -- -, *"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."-- Booklist, starred review, *"Snicket and Klassen present a picture book that tackles a basic childhood worry with suspense, a dash of humor, and a satisfying resolution."-- School Library Journal (starred review), *"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."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review, * "Readers are going to want to read this one over and over."-- Library Media Connection, starred review, "Laszlo, though a new creation for this story, somehow seems satisfyingly familiar." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Laszlo, though a new creation for this story, somehow seems satisfyingly familiar."-- Kirkus Reviews, *"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." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review, *"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."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), * "An offbeat -- and spookily atmospheric -- approach to fear of the dark, with a creative story and high-impact artwork...an enjoyable thrill." -- The Bulletin, starred review, *"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."-- Booklist (starred review), *"With his command of language, tone, and pacing, Snicket creates the perfect antidote to a universal fear.
