PS
Choppy text wears down an otherwise appealing tale of a friendly ghost and his misadventures in the world of humans. Mistaken for a sheet, Woo finds himself washed and hung out to dry, among other indignities, before he finally summons his scary side. The breezy illustrations use color and just a few spare lines to suggest movement and personality.
