(4) PS StoryPlay series. Illustrated by Guy Francis. Three brave little kids on a "ghost hunt" encounter obstacles (e.g., a wobbly bridge: "Can't go around it. Can't go over it. We have to walk on it!"). This installment in a series focused on early literacy "shines a spotlight on problem solving." Intrusive discussion prompts are included throughout the cheerily illustrated story; appended activities help parents further "engage with your little one."
