classic ghost tales are watered down to children's level. great pictures. ghost poems, a haunted cemetary, a ghost cat, a haunted house, a mean ghost bully, and the classic teeny tiny woman. children love this book. especially the ghost bully story. just plain cute.

This is a good book, but there is one part where a school bully gets sick and dies (and then turns into a ghost.) I thought that was a little too much for a book which is written for young children.
