Orion and the Dark
By Kendra
I have long considered picture books to be the first poems our children are exposed to. The very best picture books are pure poetry, combining both figurative language and pictures to create astounding visuals for children who are just learning that words can make pictures."Orion and the Dark" is a beautiful book, imaginative and clever. Look at all the ways Orion thinks of to combat his fear of the dark, from staging protests, to keeping glow worms, to eating carrots.The Dark shows Orion first just how much his fear is misplaced and then later shows Orion just how magical and wonderful the universe can be.An excellent book, touching and sweet, and sure to be a favorite to be read again and again and again.
