(4) K-3 Illustrated by Patricia Castelao. Pierre and his daughter Marie transform Fred the ghost's dusty, creaky old New Orleans home into a bright and busy restaurant. His dinnertime hauntings, rather than scaring diners away, are outrageously original, and they turn the restaurant into a five-star success. Hazy, Disneyesque illustrations are more successful than the text at evoking New Orleans both of old and today.
