A perfect Halloween treat, The Ghosts Go Spooking is sure to become a favourite for repeat readings.
What people are saying:
“A group of ghosts make their way to a Halloween party, meeting a bevy of friends along the way. Bozik's lively text is a reworking of "The Ants Go Marching" … Though the color scheme is appropriate for a Halloween romp—a giant yellow moon, deep blues and purples for the sky—there's a gentle tone that runs through this fairly tame outing, from the smiling vampire family who greet the trick-or-treating ghosts to a grinning group of bats to the fiddle-playing skeleton crew… VERDICT A solid option for those seeking a Halloween read-aloud or sing-along or an introduction to numbers and counting. “ — School Library Journal
