      Synopsis

      Do you believe in ghosts?
      Some people do . . .

      These spooky — and funny — tales about singing ghosts, toast-eating ghosts, and ghosts no one even guesses are sure to send shivers up and down your spine.

      Why not retell them to your friends and see if you can make their spines tingle, too?

      Children's Literature

      Halloween is the biggest kid holiday there is! But for babies and toddlers, it can be terrifying. Older kids can still have chills and thrills, but this book will also give their younger brothers and sisters the treat of feeling safe. Schwartz, one of the greatest ghost story tellers in America, retold stories for young children. For beginning readers, Ghosts! is out in paperback too. These seven ghost stories are funny, spooky, easy to read, and tell a good tale.
