Darkness Slipped In by Ella Burfoot

We often judge a book by its cover.

Don't let this cover fool you. Ella Burfoot's title, Darkness Slipped In is skillfully written and illustrated.

Darkness is a cool, funky dude, slick and shiny black. As the story progresses you are soon aware Daisy is not afraid of the dark, instead, as Darkness slips in the window, Daisy happily invites Darkness to play a game, drink lemonade and play another game until bedtime. When they are sleepy Daisy turns off the light and Darkness snuggles in around Daisy.

This rhyming story trips merrily across the pages and the artwork is fab - u - lous. A reassuring book for children who may be fearful of the dark.
