What is In the Dark, Dark Wood about?

A familiar rhyme takes a spooky turn as a journey through a dark, dark wood leads to a dark, dark house. Behind windows, inside cupboards and around each corner, strange creatures are waiting to be discovered. Lift the flaps to reveal each surprising visitor, while repeated sounds and playful language build suspense. The story reaches its biggest surprise on the final spread, when a great white ghost suddenly appears. A lively interactive retelling for young children who enjoy gentle scares.
