“School and public libraries will want to add the new version of The Dark to their collections.... Highly recommended.”

School and public libraries will want to add the new version of The Dark to their collections, but they should not discard the original Suomalainen-illustrated rendition, for language arts and art classes could be enlivened through a comparison of the two editions. Highly recommended.--Dave Jenkinson"Canadian Materials" (10/31/1997)
