calamitymane's review against another edition

4.0

Finalmente, a Daniel Handler, er, Lemony Snicket book that I actually liked.

There is one page that needs to be moved for this book to be perfect and to have the impact Ibreally want it to have, but this is a Lemony Snicket book, there has to be at least SOME poor pacing.

Klassen's illustrations are wonderful (as usual) and really add to the creepy, suspenseful feel of the book. I think I'd pull a Grandpa from Princess Bride, though, and read this the way I'd want it to be heard.

A gripping short spooky story for children about the fear of the dark.

The illustrations and story combined make a wonderful eerie atmosphere and do a great job at making something both age appropriate and ghostly!

Very simply, but effectively, done. It actually gets rather atmospherically spooky at one point, before comforting and reassuring you. Which I guess is the point, rather. :)

Um livro muito gracinha infantil do Lemony Snicket ilustrado pelo John Klassen. Fala sobre medo do escuro e como ele pode ser superado. Extremamente simples, mas bem desenhado e articulado. Adorei o acabamento das páginas (tenho a versão brasileira) meio brilhante.
