Seems as though the dark is everywhere you look sometimes. Generally speaking it lives in the basement, and every morning Laszlo would open the door and say, “Hi . . . Hi, dark.” He wouldn’t get a reply. Then, one night, the dark does something unprecedented. It comes into Laszlo’s room and though he has a flashlight, it seems to be everywhere. It says it wants to show him something. Something in the basement. Something in the bottom drawer of an old dresser. Something that helps Laszlo just when he needs it. The dark still visits Laszlo now. It just doesn’t bother him.

La historia es sencilla, un niño (que por cierto me encanto el nombre del protagonista) Laszlo le tiene miedo a la oscuridad, y la historia nos presenta a la oscuridad como un personaje mas, una entidad que vive en la casa con Laszlo. This book is fantastic. The art blended with the story is out of this world. I love how the dark feels alive and like it could jump out and get you. At the beginning, it even feels menacing until you get to know the dark. Once you get to know it, it is only part of life. I love and adore this book. La moraleja de la historia es hacernos ver que el miedo no solo es inevitable, si no NECESARIO. No debemos de enfrascarnos en superarlo, si no en entenderlo.Ocr ABBYY FineReader 11.0 (Extended OCR) Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.11 Ocr_module_version 0.0.14 Old_pallet IA18375 Openlibrary_edition In this beautifully constructed sentence, one envisions a seed cradled in the dark by the earth’s soil as if the earth were its mother, gently clutching its child. One night, Laszlo's nightlight lamp goes out, and the dark speaks to him in a creeky, smooth and distant voice. The dark tells Laszlo that it wants to show him something, and Laszlo leaves his room with a flashlight. He looks towards the closet and shower curtain, before being told to go downstairs. He goes to the living room's largest window to look at the night, but the dark tells him to go into the basement. Though afraid, Laszlo enters the basement. You might be afraid of the dark, but the dark is not afraid of you. That’s why the dark is always close by.”

Another connection for your students is the fact that Klassen is an animator. His animations appear in the movies, Kung Fu Panda and the spine tingler, Coraline. I am sure just telling your students that bit of information would definitely peak their interest. When discussing the book, Daniel Handler said that when he "embarked on the world of picture books, [his] first thought was to do something about the dark." He has a distinct childhood memory of explaining to adults that he was not afraid of the dark, but yet things that could be lurking inside. [1]

A powerful and moving tale which will entertain and encourage others to fight their fear of the dark. -- Bury Free Press In this book, a young boy named Laszlo was afraid of the dark, even though the dark was not afraid of him. One night, Laszlo’s night light goes out and the dark suddenly sneaks into his room and asks him to come downstairs to the basement so it could show Laszlo something. Lemony then informs the reader that the dark is not afraid of people, always waiting close by and looking down at everyone. Without the dark, one would not be able to recognize the light. Captivating picture book for younger children that is sure to become a library essential in no time. A powerful narrative... evocatively illustrated. There's really no good reason not to have this on your shelves. -- Teach NurseryDaniel and Lisa’s nine-year-old son, Otto, perhaps unsurprisingly given his genetic makeup, understood all this very early. “Before he could talk,” says Handler, “we would go for a walk and I would say: ‘If I see a tree, I’m going to go crazy,’ and he would point at a tree and I would pretend to go crazy. Or I’d say: ‘If I see a piece of gum on the sidewalk I’m going to fall on the ground,’ and he’d point at the gum. I still meet children who, when I make that kind of joke, are alarmed.” Handler affects dismay that such children exist. “Some of them are my nieces. You can’t win them all.” He eloquently reminds us what it is to be afraid of the dark and also, with Jon Klassen's simple, illuminating drawings, guarantees that readers see the light. -- The Observer

Without a closet, you would have nowhere to put your shoes, and without a shower curtain, you would splash water all over the bathroom, and without the dark, everything would be light, and you never know if you needed a lightbulb."

The illustrations in The Dark takes us along on a journey of following a young lad through his enormous old house. As we follow along, we see the surroundings of the home through the boy’s viewpoint. By seeing the dark through his viewpoint, we see it as he sees it. Shadows around every corner, dark stairs leading to the basement, and the dark waiting for him at every turn.
