Unwrapping Some Illustrations for you
The Book
This book has a Halloween theme that is written in rhyme. Sad Ghost floats from room to room in his house continually in tears. The book was inspired by the author's love for Halloween and by a precious family Halloween figurine.
The illustrations are colourful and full of detail and expression. A little mouse is embedded in each page. Kids will love to play search-and-find for him.
I must admit I wasn't completely taken by the storyline and I think kids will find it hard to engage in. The rhythm was off and some of the ideas offered as to why Sad Ghost was sad were strange. It was hard to grasp the whole point of the book after a read through. I am sure kids will love the fun whimsical visuals that are not overly spooky just as I did.
