Ghost in the House

More delightful than frightful, this lift-the-flap cumulative counting book follows a little ghost as he slip-slides through a dark and creaky house. At every turn a new ghoulish friend surprises the ghost, then joins him on his trek.

The best surprise is saved for last: who do you think is the spookiest creature of all?

About the Authors

Ammi-Joan Paquette has never met a ghost, mummy, monster, skeleton, or witch as far as she knows. This book, she says, was inspired by a game she used to play with her sister: "Most of the details have been lost to time, but I still remember the shivery thrill I got when we played it. So, I drew on that same energy to write a spooky picture book, which eventually became A Ghost in the House." In addition to writing, Joan is also a literary agent representing authors of children s books. She lives outside Boston with her family.
