Darkness Slipped In

By Ella Burfoot

Book Overview

Daisy isn't afraid of Darkness when he quietly slips in through her bedroom window one evening. Together, Daisy and Darkness dance and play until bedtime. This enchanting story personifies Darkness as a friendly and welcome visitor. The bold design includes a wonderfully tactile varnish to highlight Darkness's looming shape as he fills the room. The book's striking use of black and white is enlivened by vibrant accents of hot pinks and warm yellows. The rhyming text is a delight to read aloud and will help allay a childhood fear of the dark. Darkness Slipped In has all the makings of a modern classic

Customer Reviews

No more fear of the dark

My child would dread going to bed, it was the shadows on the wall. This book , by personifying night, has come up with a way to involve their imagination with darkness, turning it from a world of fear to a world of wonder.

Kids love it

This one is right up there with Pinkolicious and Fancy Nancy for my kids. It hasn't really done anything to help my oldest get over her fear of the dark but she still likes the book.

Bets feedback is how often a child can request a book to be read!

My daughter askes me to read this book at least twice a week out of many other we have. This is on the top of her list for 3 months already
