Its not easy to enjoy a picnic when you have unseeable interlopers to contend with! In a new trio of stories for beginning readers, the affable Max the dog and mischievous Baby Cakes the cat encounter a scare-happy ghost who has a run-in with a mirror, the wind at its blustery best, and a teeny-tiny fairy with a wayward wand who may have met her match. With playfully meta flair, author David LaRochelle and illustrator Mike Wohnoutka bring back their lovable characters for an amusing foray into things that go Boo!, Whoosh!, and Hey! . . . Will you let me back into the book

Reviews

Big laughs from this early reader. Broken into three stories, LaRochelles accessible text will inspire confidence and giggles in new readers. Wohnoutkas gouache, comics-inspired illustrations use speech balloons to ratchet up the humor while providing context cues to support emerging decoding skills. . . See the star Buy the book.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Children will enjoy Mike Wohnoutkas comic-strip-style illustrations of the dog and cat protagonists in the story. . . . See the Ghost is one of those early readers that adults wont mind reading with their children/students. And if youre one of those people who judge the price of a childrens book by how many times it gets read, youll be satisfied. Theyll pick this one up until they can read it all by themselves, after which you can pass it on to another beginning reader who is sure to appreciate it.
