A book that illustrates the rise of fascism to children without feeling scary. ( ) A little prince who is afraid of the dark vows that he will ban it when he becomes king in this original fairy-tale from British author/illustrator Emily Haworth-Booth. His ministers concoct a plan to convince the people that a world constantly lit is a good thing, and all goes well at first. But soon the king's subjects grow weary of never having the peace and comfort of the dark. They in turn concoct a plan, complete with fireworks display, to demonstrate to the king that the dark can be a good thing... A picture-book debut for Haworth-Booth, The King Who Banned the Dark is an engaging story about balance, and learning to see the good in something that can be frightening - namely: the dark. The cartoon-style illustrations are expressive and full of humor, using a limited yellow color palette that is no doubt meant to reflect the central story idea about light. I don't know that this is destined to become one of my own favorites, but for those seeking picture-books addressing fear of the dark, this might be a title to consider. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

There was once a little boy who was afraid of the dark. There's nothing unusual about that. Most children are afraid of the dark at one time of another. But this little boy was a Prince, and he decided that when he became King, he would do something about the dark. He would ban it. When a King bans the dark completely, installing an artificial sun, and enforcing "anti-dark" laws, it seems like a good idea. The citizens don't need to worry about monsters, crime, or any of the other scary things that might live in the dark. But what happens when nobody can sleep, and the citizens revolt? Will the King face his fears and turn the lights off? The King Who Banned the Dark is a beautiful story about how we need the dark in order to enjoy the light.
