✶✦ Orion and the Dark ✦✶by Emma Yarlett [Review & Giveaway USA/CANADA]

✶✦ Orion and the Dark ✦✶ By Emma Yarlett | Ages 3 to 7 Orion is scared of a lot of things, but most of all he’s scared of the dark. So one night the Dark decides to take Orion on an adventure. Emma Yarlett’s second picture book combines her incredible storytelling and artwork with die-cut pages that bring the Dark to life. My thoughts: I have mixed feelings about giving children books about fears that they are not experiencing. It could perhaps trigger an imagination that gives birth to the fear.... of the dark, of monsters, of whatever. However, much good can also come from light hearted stories that confront the fear. I believe that Orion and the Dark can be a helpful book. That being said, let's look at this delightfully engaging book. Pictures and words are scattered across the pages throughout the book. Extra words that aren't part of the narrative, but lend substance and thought as well as entertainment to the reading. The story has Orion (our little boy) being confronted in a very friendly and helpful manner by the personification of "the dark" where they engage in conversation, excursions, and have fun in the doing. At the end of the book, Orion is no long afraid of "the dark" as "Dark-personified" is his very good friend. And who's ever afraid of your very best friend?.
