Ruth Brown is the creator of some of Britain's best loved children's books, that have been shortlisted for many awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal. I also found it confusing for the children as they were encouraged to think about the main character of the dark dark tale. 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.

Ruth's books are translated in many languages around the world, and she has won the Earthworm Award, the English Association Award, the Prix Sorcière and been shortlisted 3 times for the Kate Greenaway Medal.In fact, I also noticed that we seem to have this cat that is following us as well, though he (or she) is only even shown, never mentioned in the words. I use this book as a mini lesson to show my class that some of the information listed might come from the picture.

I honestly felt like I was actually walking through a haunted house just by looking at these illustrations! While I was reading this, I thought that some children might be a little scared of the story because it was dark, the illustration's were dark, and everything was being described as dark. Once upon a time there was a dark, dark moor," the tale begins, and each two-page spread that follows narrows the focus - there is a dark, dark wood on the dark, dark moor; then a dark, dark house in the dark, dark wood; and so on - until finally, we discover what is waiting for us, at the end of all this dark darkness. Voici un album fort intéressant en anglais par plusieurs aspects et facilement accessible dès le CE2. The words 'dark dark' are repeated throughout the story as all of the items are described like this.I absolutely loved this book as a child and when i saw the cover all the memories of reading it came back to me! The dark dark tale is a book based on a progression through the dark wood, into the dark house, and eventually to the surprise discovery of a mouse inside a toy box. Although the story is “spooky” it’s not too frightening for my 2-4 year olds as it has a happy ending.

I’ve brought it work and my preschool class has asked for it to be read multiple times a day for last 3 months. Excellent detailed illustrations in dark, dark colors add just enough creep factor for very young readers/listeners to enjoy without becoming spooked. Children will delight in following the black cat’s progress through the dark wood, into the dark house, and eventually to the surprise discovery at the back of the toy cupboard, in this mysterious, beautifully illustrated picture book. With all the repetition of words and structure, gorgeous atmospheric illustrations, and just the right amount of new vocabulary, "A Dark, Dark Tale" is a Halloween home run. The use of dark colors and double page illustrations makes the spookiness of the story pop out at the reader.I think Ruth Brown does a good job of writing a suspenseful book for children, without making it too scary. The illustrations are wonderful, and just a little unusual for a picture book, especially one that might be enjoyed by the very young.
