What's The Dark About

Publisher Summary

Jule Ann pounds on the bottom of a cookie jar and a small, dark lump bounces out. The Dark quickly eats up Jule Ann’s shadow, and then her mother and father’s shadows, growing bigger and bigger with each swallow. When the Dark grows as big as her house, Jule Ann comes up with an ingenious plan to get it back where it belongs. A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book brings all of the escalating thrills of The Dark to a new generation of young readers.
