Customer Reviews

Legitimately scary

This book actually scared me, an adult, as I read it to my two-year-old. My daughter was scared and hiding her eyes too. It comes around nicely at the end being something I would truly consider a piece of art. It's too complex to be a book obsession for my two-year-old, but I look forward to pulling it back out when she's older.

Wasn’t what I expected...

I love Lemony Snicket, and Jon Klassen. Seeing that these two collaborated together made me choose this book without a second thought. I bought this book to read to my three year old hoping it would help him not be afraid of the dark. I haven’t read it to him yet because it actually came off creepy to me. The story and illustrations go together really well... buuuut it’s definitely not a happy-go-lucky kind of vibe. I assumed it would have some humor or lightness to it, but it doesn’t. Who knows, maybe my son will love it. We’ll just have to wait and see.
