Leonard Builds a Haunted House by Mike Ciccotello - ADVISABLE

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

When the ghosts’ haunted house is torn down for “progress”, Leonard, also a ghost, is in charge of building them a new haunted house.  The other ghosts have some issues with his building and design skills, however.

A cute look at how it isn’t the house itself that makes something haunted!  I enjoyed the ghosts coming behind Leonard and complaining about his choices - just like any fussy client. Silly fun.
