Laszlo was afraid of the dark. He'd go to the basement each morning, where the dark lived, and say hi, hoping that if he visited the dark where it lived, it wouldn't visit him in his room. But one night, it did. This book has just the right amount of creepy anticipation before resolving itself with a friendly helpful hand.
Though the illustrations have minimum details, they are perfect for the tone of the story. It's a great read-aloud, and a story with which you could talk about personification and tone.
