title: Five Goofy Ghosts (Hello Reader , Level 4)
author:  Judith Bauer Stamper 
description: Gr. 2^-3. Five silly horror stories will make kids shiver with fear and laugh out loud--and want to read. The pictures in full color, with heavy cross-hatching, show ghosts, witches, skeletons, and graveyards; best of all is the close-up of the hairy toe ("Who's got my hairy toe?") in a new variation of the old folktale. There are haunted houses with creaking stairs and a cumulative rhyme that collects a bat, a zombie, a skeleton "bony and white," and other monsters. Finally, there's a riddle story with ghostwriter puns and a ghost who comes out of the graveyard to say, "Boo!" Part of the Hello Reader! series, this will also make a popular read-aloud. <i>Hazel Rochman</i>
