Editorial Reviews
Review
"The humor is freewheeling and perfectly calibrated - it should evoke both sniggers and belly laughs....Perfect for Halloween - but too good not to read all year round." - The Horn Book, starred review
"Meisel's hapless, gap-toothed ghosts and LaRochelle's knack for pitch-perfect bedtime storytelling make these stories light on horror but heavy on laughs." - Publishers Weekly
"As fresh as LaRochelle's text is, Meisel's playfully rendered illustrations capture every ridiculous, giggle-inducing moment and amps it right up. Share with the most sleep-resistant and squirmy kids for a surefire read-aloud romp." - Kirkus

This review is from: The Haunted Hamburger and Other Ghostly Stories (Hardcover)
This is a family of ghost's telling people stories. Three very cute stories that can be read again and again. I read all three short stories to my preschool class twice and we voted on which one we liked the most. You can read it again and again and never tire of the stories. We loved it.
