This Book Is Haunted (An I Can Read Book, Level 1)
Kindergarten-Grade 2-A ghostly narrator tells six not-so-scary Halloween  stories that beginning readers will enjoy. The first tale  features two greedy trick-or-treaters who are tricked by a witch  and a ghost. Next, sibling rivalry goes unchecked when Baby  Bibble disappears as Sally Bibble scribbles the child's image  with a special pen. In another selection, a tap-tap-tapping  sound fuels the grim imaginations of two brothers until the  elder boy removes a branch hitting the window, producing a  temporary quiet. Librarians will rejoice in the story of mean  Bill, who steals the book his sister is reading, and leaves it  under his bed. Because it is haunted, it cries out to be  returned to the library, prompting the boy to take it back the  next morning, still in his pajamas. These charming tales  conclude with the ghost requesting readers to share the book  with a friend, and to write their own stories. Adinolfi's  illustrations provide contextual clues with friendly cartoon  fiends depicted in bright colors and a variety of skin tones. A  treat for emerging readers.Laura Scott, Baldwin Public Library,  Birmingham, MICopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
