(2) PS Illustrated by Raymond McGrath. Little Ghost is all ready for another night providing frights in the woods, but when she opens her mouth to shout, she's distraught to learn that she's lost her "BOO!" In search of it, she follows the sounds of her friends Owl, Pigeon, Rooster, and Cow, none of whom, sadly, can help her. Finally, a dejected Little Ghost turns to the reader for assistance: "Come on now, it's up to you. / Let me hear you shout out, 'BOO!'" This interactive feature is sure to be a crowd pleaser, as will the text's playful rhymes, repetition, and animal sounds. McGrath's handsome, folk-art-style illustrations employ a cool-colored palette that grows progressively brighter to complement the narrative action and reassure its preschool audience.
