A MINI version of the original Robert Munsch classic—perfect for party favors, trips, and more!

A bouncy, shadow-eating creature called a Dark is no match for Jule Ann's wits!

Jule Ann pounds on the bottom of a cookie jar, and a small dark lump bounces out. The Dark quickly gobbles up every shadow in sight, growing bigger with each one. Munsch’s plucky heroine resolves the perplexing problem with brilliant, spirited logic.
