The Dark by Lemony Snicket

Laszlo is afraid of the dark. During the day, the dark lives in the basement, and mostly stays there. At night, however, the dark spreads out all over the house, and this scares Laszlo. One night, Laszlo decides that the best way to get over his fear of the dark is to go into the dark's room. Instead, the dark comes to Laszlo's room to talk to him. The dark convinces him to go to the basement, where Laszlo retrieves a lightbulb. From then on, Laszlo is no longer afraid of the dark. A sweet book to help children overcome their fear of the dark.
