PICTURE BOOKS
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mies van Hout. A ghost appears in Charlotte's bed one night. She's less surprised by his existence than she is miffed by his selfishness ("Mine!" is his only word), which she devotes herself to curing. Due in large part to van Hout's nicely textured illustrations, children will recognize the smiley ghost's behavior as more immature than malicious and will sympathize with Charlotte's plight.
