Illustrated by
Roland Garrigue.
Each of these books is a how-to meant to help children get the featured fiend to flee. The advice is original and quirky ("Ghosts...hate it when you sneeze, ACHOO! / And use them as a tissue!"), and the illustrations, some wordless, can be hilarious, as when a wolf is confronted by an army of minuscule Red Riding Hoods. Review covers these titles: How to Get Rid of Ghosts, How to Outwit Witches, and How to Ward Off Wolves.
