The illustrations match gorgeously the discursive content of the tale, which, in my own opinion, tries to depict the stereotypes of the British thriller, but beautifully adapted for the infant reader. The story builds suspense along the illustrations to break in a derisory and surprising ending: who would think that a cute and inoffensive mouse was and the very end of a very dark and lugubrious story… geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Ruth Brown is a well-known British picture-book creator - her recent Gracie, The Lighthouse Cat, published earlier this year, is the only other one of her titles I have read, thus far - and A Dark, Dark Tale, originally released in 1981, looks to be one of her most popular. I can certainly understand why! I really liked the way the text and images worked together, in this one, and the way that Brown sets up her readers' expectations, only to pull the rug out from under them! I don't know if every child will really like the ending, but they will be surprised by it. All in all, this is a title I would recommend giving a try, particularly at Halloween time! ( )
