The Scariest Book Ever by Bob Shea -ADVISABLE

Shea, Bob The Scariest Book Ever, PICTURE BOOK. Disney, 2017. $17.

A little ghost is afraid of everything even what’s happening on pages of the book that it can’t see. The reader is invited to read those pages and get back to the hiding ghost and tell it whats happening. What’s happening is a cute woodland Halloween party, but the ghost doesn’t believe it. Can the reader talk the ghost into joining the fun?

This is a great book for a Halloween read-aloud. Just enough creepy for younger readers and humor to balance it out. The pages are big and bright and big enough for sharing with a class. Students will like trying to find the invisible ghost on each page as it blends in with the same color background (its texture that helps it stand out).
