School Library Journal - 11/01/2014 K-GR 2—Liniers's story tackles one of the biggest childhood fears: the dark. A young boy's nighttime rituals are observed as his parents bid him good night. When the light is turned out, darkness creeps in and strange creatures emerge, surrounding his bed and staring at him. The child ultimately asks to sleep with his parents, but the real twist comes when the first bizarre being, a blue blob with a long pointed nose, appears at the foot of his mom and dad's bed. Liniers's cartoons effectively capture an imagination run wild. This is the perfect book for those who loved Jon Klassen and Lemony Snicket's The Dark (Little, Brown, 2013).—Krishna Grady, Darien Library, CT - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
