(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Uli Waas. During a Halloween sleepover in her classroom, Mary explains that she has no fear of ghosts because she has her own special star for protection. But the delight and wonder behind this idea are undermined on the last page, when Mary herself requests that the hall light be left on during the night. The children's antics are depicted with lighthearted, cartoonlike watercolors.
