★ "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
Bestselling author Lemony Snicket teams up with Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen to create an irresistible picture book about conquering fear of the dark.
Laszlo is afraid of the dark.
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.
This is the story of how Laszlo stops being afraid of the dark.
With emotional insight and poetic economy, two award-winning talents team up to overcome a universal childhood fear.
★ "Readers are going to want to read this one over and over."―Library Media Connection, starred review
