Review Detail

Little Ghost Makes a Friend tells the story of Little Ghost, who lives with his mom and really wants to make friends in the neighborhood. A new kid has just moved in next door, and Little Ghost has the perfect plan to befriend her: He will invite her to a Halloween party at his house. 

What I liked: I’m very excited that the Halloween season is upon us so I am happy to be able to start reading books meant for this season. This book is a great one to read at the start of the fall season as we transition into the holiday months. 

This book stood out to me since it's not only about Halloween but it's about using your interests to make friends. Little Ghost recognizes that Halloween is a great time for him to interact with others in town and uses this to his advantage. 

The images in the story are cute and make ghosts friendly creatures rather than something to be afraid of. I appreciate that the photos are easy for a younger audience to follow and engage with. This is a book that children who don’t know how to read would enjoy flipping through the images and telling their own stories. 

Final Verdict: Little Ghost Needs a Friend is a fun story for children ages 4 and up to show them ways to make friends with others. This is a great book to read during the fall season leading up to Halloween. Adults will also enjoy the cute images included throughout this book as they enjoy following along as Little Ghosts makes friends.
