Ready for some Halloween fun in July? Today's review is a book for the youngest readers and centers around ghosts. There are flaps to open on every page (a favorite of mine) and cute ghosts to discover at every turn. Now, this is a change-up from my original plan (the sneak peek I give at the beginning of every month). So, those of you who are here for the picture book from Iran, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Monday (July 19th), since I had a bit of a book delay. But no worries, that one is on the way!
Until then, let's find some ghosts!

MY TIDBITS
With the right amount of spookiness and silliness, this is great for the youngest, Halloween reading fans.
Ghosts can be anywhere. These pages explore all the places that ghosts may hide...and it isn't necessarily the usual ones like closets, under the bed or dark corners. Readers get to experience the surprise of the hiding places, too, by lifting a flap to find a ghostly, friendly smile.
This is a super cute book for the Halloween season...or for any other time of year. The text is simple and short, and easy for the younger ones to even understand. The illustrations are bright and bold. Each page presents Halloween fun with familiar 'monsters' many young ones will recognize (witches, vampires, etc). All of these are created with gentle care and give off a party and fun atmosphere.
The flaps are robust as the rest of the book and will hold up to some wear and tear. The ghosts are friendly and round, to ensure there isn't too much fright. It's simply cute.
And here she is...
