Little Ghost House Hunts

PreS-Gr 1–A lovely, unique story about a ghost who just wants some peace and quiet. Little Ghost is tired of living with his very loud family where he has no quiet place to practice his boos and read scary stories. So, off he goes to find a quiet house to haunt—except it’s Halloween, and everyone thinks he’s just trick-or-treating. When he finally does find a quiet house, Little Ghost starts to realize that maybe it’s actually too quiet. Branam has created a lovely Halloween tale for readers who like the fall season or ghosts. Little Ghost is a fun character to follow, as he keeps making the same mistake without realizing it, and his quest is filled with Halloween cheer. The simple text is made up of commonly used words and always stands out against the page. Gorgeous illustrations help bring to life not just Little Ghost, with his distinct pink and white, but also the Halloween night and spookiness surrounding him. Little Ghost has a distinctive flowing, breezy style that helps place readers in the middle of fall.
