Review Detail

Lily Murray's Five Little Ghosts is an engaging picture book that reimagines the classic "Five Little Ducks" rhyme. The book focuses on Mama Ghost and her unruly ghosts who like to fly away and hide. Readers must lift flaps to find out where the little ghosts are hiding.

What I Liked: The lift and flap feature makes the book engaging for young readers. This story has rhyming and repetitive text that makes it fun to read aloud. I could see this becoming a favorite class read-aloud. There is something delightful about the illustrations, especially the adorable and playful ghosts. Pumpkin patches, scarecrows, and bats are sweet nods to fall and Halloween.

Five Little Ghosts is a charming and interactive read that can be enjoyed beyond Halloween.
