The Grotlyn by Benji Davies

4.0

Among Benji Davies' picture books, I think this one is in tune with me the most. It worths a read when you want to explain all the dark fears children may have and turn the darkness into a captivating adventure with their imagination.
Moreover, it paves a path to let every child know that they can navigate their perception to positive sides rather than letting a challenging situation bring them down. The illustrations have that quirky Victorian vibe which is excellent to capture the mood for this story. I also love how the intricate visual part makes it more exciting to re-read since the clues are hidden everywhere for the last surprise. Those rhyming words are a plus!
