At the Teeny Tiny Ghost's
School, the Spook and Spirit Club is running a Make-a-Monster contest just
in time for Halloween. But it's much too scary...like a nightmare coming
true. What to do? The Teeny Tiny Ghost has to fend off teasing from two
school bullies and complete his project by tomorrow morning. Find out how
his two black cats help the Teeny Tiny Ghost solve his problem. |
| What Reviewers Said: School Library Journal: All the ghosts in the teeny tiny school are excited about the upcoming Make a Monster contest - except the timid teeny tiny ghost, who finds the idea very frightening. At the end of the school day, he has not come up with any inspiration for his picture. On the way home, he flies over a dump filled with "raggy saggy sofas" and wires, springs, clocks and wheels. ...That evening, he constructs his monster. When he takes his junkyard creation to school, the other students smirk, snicker, and giggle. During recess, however, the Spook and Spirit Club judges the entries. The blue ribbon is hanging on teeny tiny ghost's friendly monster. ...Great fun as a Halloween read-aloud. (9/04). Maria Salvadore, Reviewer for www.childrenslit.com: Most of the young ghosts in class think that the Spook and Spirit Club's contest to create the scariest monster just in time for Halloween is a terrific idea; that is, everyone except the timid and teeny tiniest ghost. ...The lively text is rhythmic, rhyming and alliterative accompanied by lighthearted, very humorous cartoon-like illustrations. Together they sweep across each double page spread to the satisfying conclusion and will remind human children that they, too, can overcome almost anything when they put their minds to it. (2004). |
