Three little ghosties sitting around eating their toastie and telling their boasties is very cute. The story has a very funny turn of events at the end. The book is written in a refreshingly down to earth style, simple, and charmingly enjoyable. It is not often that a writing style such as this comes around especially in the realm of Childrens genre.

This was read at story time today for up coming Halloween. The story tells of the people the ghosts scare, but they get theirs in the end. Our librarian did a great job creating suspense while reading the ending and a couple kids jumped when she said boo.

This book is great for very young children in addition to the stated 3-6 age group. My 3 month old son loves looking at the pictures and hearing me rhyme the words. I believe it's the cadence and the rhyming sounds that really appeal to him.
Alison
This is what I like to call an outstanding read-aloud book. The rhyming is fun and the words are really silly to read. The illustrations are cute and it was Halloweeny enough for my three year old without being too scary.
Sarah
Cute story about three little ghosts who have gone about frightening different creatures, only to be foiled by one ferocious boy. The ghosties, toasties, posties was a little much, but the overall story and illustrations were nice.
Elizabeth
I really liked the very European illustration, and the story is funny, too. Gracie and Bridget loved hee-hee-hee-ing with the mischievous ghosties... and gosh, I sure like the name "Pippa Goodhart."

I read this book to Brenna last night and had to add it to my list on Goodreads. I love this book! The illustrations are very cool and the silly rhyming is fun!
Laura
Nice offbeat rhymes. Clever multi-media illustrations. And a twist ending that the kids didn't see coming. They've requested this one a bunch.

I love this book! Perfect for Halloween storytime. The illustrations are just beautifully spooky, but not too spooky for the youngsters.

The Little Ghosties, sitting on posties, tell wild boasties of how they've scared various monsters. But how will they fare when they turn thier talents on children?

This cutesy little 'horror' story with illustrations meant to look like childish doodles deals with fears of things that go bump in the night, and is bound to generate laughs from your toddlers.

I particularly love the use of a wide variaty of hand drawn fonts to respresent the sound of words. It's rhymes, sound words, and onomatopoei...more

Goodhart's funny story about three mischievous ghosts is fun. My little one wants this one read over and over again.
Nick
This book was great. I really liked the way that they made up their own words. It was a fun book to read out loud.

I loved using this book to have the kids make "ghostie" noises that get them into their head voice for singing. Plus my kindergarteners love the ending!

we LOVED this book. Julian is going through a "ghostie" phase, so this book was perfect, especially with Halloween coming up. :)
