Too much icing IS bad for you!

Lemony Snicket, the author of the Series of Unfortunate Events, has a unique style of writing that is rarely surpassed by that of other children’s authors. He tells you the meanings of words that a child most likely wouldn’t know. Take this passage: “Please get out of bed and get dressed,” he said briskly. The word “briskly” here means “quickly, so as to get the Baudelaire children to leave the house.” And don’t forget his quirky descriptions of characters and how he relates them to an object or characteristic.
Here is my introduction.
Hanswort awoke with a start when he realized he was no longer holding his favorite stuffed rabbit, Twinkles. It was the most prized one of a collection, crafted by stuffed rabbit artisans in the sweatshops of Burma. The glowing turquoise rabbit resembled more of a dragon and was the supreme ruler of his sovereign bunny state. All told he was a bunny fanatic. Fanatic meaning he was more interested in bunnies than Jesus himself! He flailed his chubby arms hopelessly under the covers of his undersized bed, but to no avail! the words “ to no avail” means he couldn’t find it. He grabbed a nearby rabbit from his bedside table, waiting for tomorrow to come so he could find search for Twinkles.
