Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this scary-silly sequel to The Teeny Tiny Ghost, the protagonist's newfound courage flags when transparent boots go "stomp, stomp, stomping" around his cobwebby mansion. "Someone is haunting my teeny tiny house, but I'm the ghost!" he protests as his two nervous cats cling to his taffy-stretchy body. With heart-pounding punctuation, Winters shows how the ghost unmasks the culprit: his older cousin, doing a homework assignment in haunting. Disarming watercolors evoke the mild-mannered hero's fear, resolve and, in a festive ending, his eventual triumph. A lesson in bravery, a spine-tingler and an all-out charmer, this is the treat of the Halloween season. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2 This book opens with the diminutive apparition introduced in The Teeny Tiny Ghost (HarperCollins, 1997) at recess gathering his courage to climb the "slippery silver slide." When he makes it successfully up and zooms to the bottom, the little ghost realizes that, "Being brave just takes practice." He then puts his bravery to the test when he encounters spooky happenings at home. With his black cats in tow, the tiny ghost uncovers the fact that his cousin has been targeting him as part of his "hide and haunt" homework. Fans of the first book will enjoy this gently scary offering that features the same Goreyesque artwork and rhythmic text. Ghostly holiday fare for the teeny-tiny set.

More About the Author

Did you ever wonder what would happen if you took the road less traveled by?
This was a question I often asked myself.
In 1992, I decided to head down a new highway.
I left my lovely job in education and became a children's book author.
Did I miss the children, teacher friends, Blue Cross and Blue Shield? You bet!
But I wrote every day ( well almost), collected reams of rejections, and kept sending out manuscripts
In August of 94, the first contract call came.
Now 12 books later, the days flash by with writing, researching, revising, submitting, rejections (Yes, published authors still get them), email, school visits, conference presentations, and book signings.
My husband Earl encourages, edits, advises, takes pictures, helps with research , updates my website which he designed,and prints out maps to schools and bookstores.
I love meeting my readers. And I look forward to hearing from you.

This fun-loving and playful picture book is scary enough to hold the interest of the bold child and gentle enough to entertain the timid. Kids will love and indentify with the Teeny Tiny Ghost and his two black cats. With its rhythmic prose and delightful illustrations, the book makes a great aloud - at Halloween or at any other time.
