The Christmas Eve Ghost by Shirley Hughes
An inspiring tale of Christmas goodwill and acceptance from Shirley Hughes, one of the world's best-loved picture-book creators.
The text is much longer than that usually found in picture books, making it best suited for children who are on the cusp of reading for themselves and beyondHowever, such are the quality of the writing and the beauty of the pictures that younger children will be engaged for longer than they might otherwise have been. It's a Shirley Hughes book that is as much of a must-read as you would expect; is there really anything else you need to know? Highly recommended. * The Bookbag.co.uk *
