Cute story. Nothing scary.

Cute story. Nothing scary.
My three year old is really into skeletons and ghosts. This book is such a hit. Very silly and nothing scary. I have had to read it about three times a day for the past two weeks.

My 5 year old grabbed this book from the library and was upset when we had to give it back. He had memorized the entire book by the time we returned it, so I decided to buy him it. He still love it and is very proud he knows a book front to back. The art is gorgeous and my kids have a few techniques to try next time they get hiccups.
