Reviews

[Ivy Lee]

This has been my absolute favorite book since I was a child! Nothing will every compare.

Sometimes my sisters and I will just shout at each other "How many toes does a skeleton have? Ten! Sing it again!"

.... we are all in our 20s and 30s.

[James]

Mostly just fine, but the trick-or-treating bit was pretty hilarious. Ghost has NO idea how to do it. A little painfully awkward and sad.
