At midnight on Halloween the ghosts come out to the playground. Rex Magnificus, the king of ghosts, invites all the ghosts to come for a party. No humans allowed! But this year, the noise has woken up two neighbor children who have come to join the fun. Rex is furious and attempts to scare them away.
“The Haunted Playground" is a long poem written in rhyming stanzas making it a delightful read aloud. The full page pictures are detailed and interesting with a hand-drawn look that feels nostalgic. This is a sweet little introduction for children to the world of ghost stories.
