I have been reading stories to Head Start pre-schoolers for four years and children LOVE this book! The sentences are easy for them to repeat and the three dimensional figure that pops out at the end of the book thrills the children every time!

I teach first grade and my students couldn't get enough of this book! It's very short, and just a tiny bit scary...especially in the dark! It's a cute story, one your kids will surely love!

My 5 year old's entire Kindergarten class has wanted to hear this story over and over. The class was so enthralled by this wonderfully spooky little story with a big surprize at the end, that the teacher used the storyline as a Halloween craft project. The story is very quick to read, and so easy that a pre-schooler can have it memorized in no time. Your little ones will be thrilled when they can "read" it to you complete with the "scary" ending.
Perfect for 3 to 6 year olds.

It is a really cute book, but do not read it to very young kids or kids who have a propensity toward nighmares. The publishers would have you believe that this book is targeted for kids from 3 to 6 years old, but it is best suited for late 4s +. I read this to my 3 year old, not knowing the end was a pop-up picture of a goulish green ghost. It's given her nightmares.

The book was in wonderful condition and I recieved it in a short amount of time. I was very pleased with this purchase.

I live in New Zealand and it was cheaper for me to purchase this from USA. I am an early childhood teacher and this book helps create a calm quiet room (I almost whisper when reading it) until the end when I never fail to surprise the children on the last page.....they love it!

My daughter came home from preschool (she's 2) quoting, "in a dark dark room...there was a ghost." For about a month she used her imagination and everybook she read was....in a dark dark room. So I decide to help her and bought her the book. I'm very pleased as she is with the book and it's quality, especially the ......ghost!!!!

This book has been enjoyed by three generations in our family.

My grand daughter never tires of reading the book.
The surprise at the end is delightful every time!

I had been looking for this book for a long time and just happened to come across amazon. I found it! It was shipped very quickly! This Book has been read to both my daughters at a very young age and they both still love it! The Ending still makes them laugh! Its not a scary book, Its just how you read it to them!

My 5 and 3 year old absolutely LOVE this book. They have now memorized it and "read" it to me. It is a must-have for anyone looking for a good Halloween story. We have read it nightly for the past 2 months and the kids never get tired of it!
