Little Ghost loves parties, but he’s only ever
had the Halloween kind! After attending his first ever birthday party,
Little Ghost decides to throw one of his own.(goodreads summary)
Little Ghost has only had one Halloween party. When he receives an invitation to a friends outdoor camp birthday party, he tries his best to be brave. On his way home, he thinks what it would be like having his own birthday party. His friend Anya tells him that the party should celebrate him and what he likes just like Elias did. Little Ghost decides to make his own birthday party unique to him but struggles with ideas that fit. Unfortunately, all the things he likes are for Halloween and just doesn't seem right for a summertime party.
We are right in the middle of summer and this is a really cute story for our hot weather months. It has a really nice and simple message about finding out who you are as an individual and sharing it with others. Little Ghost and Anya have a special friendship based on encouragement and thinking outside of the box. The illustrations are colorful, cute and full of expression. It has many funny moments but also reminds us the importance of celebrating who we truly are as individuals. I think anyone would love
to go to Little Ghosts Halloween themed summer party knowing how much
effort he put into it to make it spooktacular! If you liked the authors first book "Little Ghost Makes a Friend" then you will surely enjoy this addition for a wonderful summertime read. Kids may even come up with their own fun themed summer party after reading this sweet story. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
