Oh No, Not Ghosts!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam McCauley. One night a brother tells his terrified kid sister that he'll fight off any ghosts they encounter, but his reassurances ("I'd dress up like a werewolf, / Roooooooooooooar!") only exacerbate her fear. This simple premise is brought to life thanks to crisp rhymes ("Cackle, crackle, thwix, and thwax. / A witch turns demons into snacks") and surrealistic art in ghoulish greenish-browns.
