Why read it?
1 author picked Mother Ghost as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is so darn cute! I love the fresh takes on familiar nursery rhymes. I always chuckle when I read the clever new twists (which are only a little spooky). The illustrations are a teeny bit scary, but mostly super cute. When you read this book, you can go all the way through, or just pick one nursery rhyme at a time to chant with the kids.
From Tracy's list on Halloween picture books with cute illustrations.
