内容概要

Moving to a new house can be scary all by itself, especially  for kids. In this quirky little story, Pete not only moves, but in the  attic of his new home he also discovers a ghost. It's only scary until  Pete realizes that Ghost is just as frightened as he is--and not so  different after all: "Ghost flew out of the box. Ghost was not  tall. Ghost was not wide.  Ghost was just like Pete." Ghost, who had  been living in a box in the attic for 100 years, comes out just in  time for Halloween. While you might think that Halloween would be a  snap for ghosts, this one just can't get it right. Pete takes Ghost  trick-or-treating, but their outing ends in disaster--at every house  Ghost ends up making a mistake that costs him a treat. "'I like your  mask,' said Ghost. 'That is my face,' said the man."  No candy for  Ghost. With colorful illustrations and subtle messages about  friendship and sharing, Ghost and Pete is a simple but sweet  story for young readers. --Sara Nickerson     
      
  Kindergarten-Grade 3?When Pete moves into his new house, he runs up to the attic and discovers Ghost, who has spent the last 100 years in a box. The two unlikely characters quickly become pals, don costumes, and go out for Halloween together. Ghost has never gone trick-or-treating before and proves to be rather inept at it. He does not get any candy. When they return home and settle down to go to bed, Pete gives Ghost his red lollipop and seals their friendship. Youngsters will enjoy the gentle humor in this  Halloween story, particularly Ghost's literal interpretations of Pete's instructions. Novak's colorful cartoon illustrations add to the charm and overall appeal of the book. A surefire holiday choice for emerging readers.?Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA
