(2) PS Illustrated by AnnaLaura Cantone. "Three little ghosties sat on their posties, eating burnt toasties, telling big boasties." Naughty ghosts gleefully recount their stories. They get their own fright, though, while attempting to scare a little boy. Goodhart's engagingly silly rhymes are paired with mixed-media illustrations using dark and spooky colors but featuring goofy-looking ghosts. A Halloween natural that kids will enjoy year-round.
