My son has just divulged that he is afraid to go to sleep because of the imagery in this book (his teacher introduced them to the book today). He's not young - 9 years old but has been known to have a very over-active imagination. I've just managed to work out what the book was from his brief description. (Doesn't want to talk about it). While I get the moral of the story I feel the visuals are just too much and too disturbing for sensitive kids and will therefore be lost on them.
