About the Author
ELLEN STOLL WALSH is the author-illustrator of many popular books for children, including the successful Mouse Paint and Mouse Count books. She lives in upstate New York.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Pip, a salamander, is afraid of the dark. He seeks the advice of Old Abra, a wizard, traveling through a forest "black as shadows under a rock," into a tunnel "black as night," and across the nighttime hills "as black as river mud." When he finally catches up with Old Abra, the wise tortoise helps Pip realize that he already has the magic needed to brave the dark, with a little extra to spare. Filled with new confidence, the little lizard takes his leftover magic and finds a quiet place to rest. Walsh's cut-paper collage illustrations are bold and bright. Splatters of paint and a variety of textured papers add detail and dimension to the pictures. The animals are clearly and dramatically depicted: jumping frogs, with their graceful arms outstretched, dance across the page; an orange sun rises behind Old Abra's mottled shell, making him seem ancient and all-knowing; and Pip sets out on his quest with a worried expression and large, wondering eyes. Bright white backgrounds contrast sharply with the deeper tones, making his emotions more believable. Simple and uncluttered, the illustrations work well with the straightforward text, making this positive treatment of a common fear a good choice for sharing aloud.
