In case you weren't aware of it, being scary doesn't come naturally to every spirit and specter. Teeny tiny ghosts, especially, may find that they are haunting-impaired, due to their diminutive age and size. The Teeny Tiny Ghost is one such timid apparition, who attends Teeny Tiny School to learn about spooky stories, Halloween, and the basics of haunting. At his teeny tiny home, the Teeny Tiny Ghost tries to practice booing and whooing, howling and yeowling, but scares himself too much to continue. How will this fearful phantasm ever handle the unseen creatures with scary voices that come knocking at his door on Halloween night?

Kay Winters writes a story that is simple and sweet, and her use of repetition and rhyme will appeal to both readers and listeners. Illustrator Lynn Munsinger's drawings of the Teeny Tiny Ghost present an endearing spirit who falls somewhere between Casper (the friendly) and the angst-ridden woman in Edvard Munch's "The Scream." Younger children will love the Teeny Tiny Ghost's jaunty baseball cap and adorable teeny tiny cats, as well as his failed attempts at being frightful. Older, more spook-savvy kids will get a kick out of the irony of a scaredy-cat ghost. (Ages 3 to 8)

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2. The teeny tiny ghost is so timid that even practicing "boos" makes him hide his little head. Indeed, only his teensie cats are more frightened than he is. Then, on Halloween night, strange lights and loud knocks on the door set the felines mewing, and the specter has to muster up his courage and howl and yowl whoever it is away. Despite his best efforts, the visitors cheer and clap. They're his friends from school?ready to party and go trick-or-treating. The mildest of stories for a scary holiday, this one contains a lesson about being brave for someone else, of making yourself do what you fear, and overcoming it in the process. The cartoonlike illustrations are colorful and add humor, and the typeface and text within the pictures are used to good effect.?Meg Stackpole, Rye Free Reading Room, NY
