It was a Dark and Stormy Night


Janet and Allan Ahlberg 1994

Taking it's cue from Edward Bulwer-Lytton, this book is all about story telling, the sillier, the better.  When a young boy is kidnapped by a band of brigands, he's instructed by the Chief Brigand to entertain them with a story.  But no one can agree on how it should go, or how scary it should be, and whether there should be bears or not.  A bit long for a picture book, but lots of fun to read!
