I bought this book for my 3 year old son last year during Halloween season based on the cover's artwork. It has proven to be very entertaining because of the Halloween excitement and the eye catching artwork. No matter what time of year, my son always comes back to this book as a true favorite when it comes to choosing a bedtime story. The "eye filling" illustrations along with the easy to read text never fails to entertain or keep his interest.

The clever, very funny and fun-loving illustrations in this cute Halloween book make a creative and refreshingly original story come to life. Meet the teeny, tiny ghost and his two teeny tiny black cats and join him at his school where he is trying unsuccessfully to learn the ropes of haunting. He howls and he yeowls, boos and whoo-ooes but he consistently succeeds only in scaring himself silly. He hears some suspicious sounds and sees some spooky lights and shadows on Halloween and when the teeny tiny black cats get scared he rises to the challenge, faces his own fears and lets loose with his best, bone-chilling racket to scare away the spooks. A wonderful revelation results! Join in the fun and share these adorably comic illustrations with your children this Halloween. It's sure to become a favorite.

From the title, kids will know right away that the main character isn't your typical ghost. Though it's filled with Halloween sounds and imagery, this isn't a typical Halloween book either. This tale will become a Halloween staple because kids will relate more to the timid Teeny Tiny Ghost than to overbearing monsters of the usual sort. The author and illustrator don't hold back, though. The writing and pictures are vigorous and funny.
