Orion and the Dark

by Emma Yarlett

This is a children's picture book, probably appropriate for children ages 3 or 4 and older.

Orion is afraid of everything—EVERYTHING—but most especially the dark.  One night the Dark comes to visit him and takes him on a tour of the scariest places.  Orion realizes that the Dark is his friend.  Fabulous!

I was prompted to read this after seeing the new movie based on the book.  The book is MUCH better (in my opinion)!

I think this could be an excellent book to read to a child who is afraid of the dark, but the parent should decide.
