What a fun book! And as I say this, I realize I should find some more sombre phrasing. The tale of the Baudelaire orphans treats kids seriously: it gives them Big Words, pokes fun at adult behaviours, and acknowledges quite truthfully that bad things can happen, no matter how good of an inventor, scholar, or biter you may be.
