(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Anna Alter. This measured story tells of Ike and his little sister Mem, who return to a supposedly haunted house after a friend breaks a shed window. They're confronted by Mr. Hawkins, the owner, whose pigeons live in the shed. One of the birds follows Ike home; mild trouble ensues until Ike tells his parents and the whole family meets Mr. Hawkins. Static black-and-white illustrations accompany the quiet text.
