Please Don't Scare the Ghost

“Instructions for shepherding an anxious ghost through a night of Halloween fun… Williford folds in some light messaging on boundaries (Ghost prefers not to be hugged and dislikes loud noises), which will speak to youngsters who feel overwhelmed by spooky season. Reassuring guidance for uncertain trick-or-treaters.” – Kirkus Reviews

“In Williford and Adams’s handy Halloween how-to, a child coaches readers on all the ins and outs of trick-or-treating with a nervous ghost… Humorous text delivers confident, supportive takes on monster behavior quirks (“Communication is key. Let Ghost know the mummy’s moans mean ‘Who likes Batty Bubblegum?’ ”), while readers glean that even friendly monsters can’t always help delivering a fright. An eerie, glowing colorscape of greens, purples, and yellows builds visual suspense throughout this meandering guide for Halloweeners.” – Publishers Weekly
