Whenever I pick up one of Pat Hatt’s stories, I know that my niece and nephew are going to love it. ‘Fight For the Light’ is another instant classic, and just like I thought, we all loved the story and I was not disappointed.First off, the illustrations in this book were done by someone new, and I’m liking the fresh new style. This is not to say that the other illustrators used weren’t great, but this particular artist resonated with me. I really enjoyed the character designs, the lively colors, and the fabulous details.The writing in this book seems to be getting more refined and poetic than Hatt’s previous works. Children’s stories have their own sort of music to them, and it can be difficult to write entertaining stories that capture the attention of youths. Pat Hatt excels here, and his words have always been interesting; now, they have the rhyme and meter to match.I’m a big fan of Pat Hatt’s work, and this story is no different. I would suggest this story to anyone who likes to read to their children, and even to older children who like to read themselves. I can’t wait for the next one!
