Gilbert the Ghost by Guido Van Genechten
Spartacus goes to ghost school like all the other ghosts, but he's a special ghost: he doesn't like to screech in a scary way, he doesn't want to haunt and was always polite. What will happen to Spartacus when he's sent by the Head of school to the Abandoned Tower? A warm picture book by bestselling author-illustrator Guido van Genechten about a friendly and special ghost.
"A little ghost unapologetically makes the most of being different..Different never looked so appealing." - Kirkus Reviews on GILBERT THE GHOST "A sweet story about outsider friendship that is just slightly scary in places... it's hard not to be charmed by van Genechten's smiley, rosy-cheeked ghosts, who could give Casper a run for his money in the cuteness department." - Publishers Weekly on GILBERT THE GHOST PRAISE FOR BOOKS BY GUIDO VAN GENECHTEN: "Even the very young will understand that there were none to begin with, a notion that may banish at least some nighttime anxiety--and provide bedtime giggles as well." - Publishers Weekly on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "Told mostly through dialogue between parent and child, this picture book starring two charming penguins dispels bedtime fears by replacing them with belief in a father's love." - School Library Journal on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "A universal story about nighttime fears of wild things and the loving reassurance that soothes them." - Booklist on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "The abundance of sounds and repetition of key phrases makes it great for reading aloud." - Kirkus Reviews on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED A "Perfect Picture Book" - Charlotte (NC) Parent on NO GHOST UNDER MY BED "Children will relate to the need for encouragement when braving the world of potential playmates... for libraries wanting winter friendship books to add to the typical lovey-dovey Valentine's Day fare." --School Library Journal on BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FRIEND "In the dark of night, each bird plays its unique tune, and then they collaborate...Simple and sweet." - Kirkus Reviews on THE BIG WOODS ORCHESTRA "Little ones ages 4 and older will relate to this charming tale of Little Snowman Stan, who is told he's not allowed to move, run and play; to basically stand still and be seen, not heard. Across the cool, illustrated pages, Stan finds his freedom at last. A grand adventure!" - Nashville Parent on LITTLE SNOWMAN STAN NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION: Every Hero Has a Story Summer Reading List - SUPER LADYBUG TO THE RESCUE Hooverville OH Summer Reading List - SUPER LADYBUG TO THE RESCUE
