In this funny-spooky preschool board book Little Ghost learns the power in finding the right words.

Little Ghost is excited for Halloween. But when the big day finally arrives, he can’t remember the right word to say. Was it LOO? GOO? Surely it wasn’t … POO? As Little Ghost tests out different words he starts to feel disheartened, but with a little bit of encouragement and kindness he discovers everyone can find the courage to speak out.

This laugh-out-loud story is the perfect read-aloud to inspire confidence in little ones, and underscores the influence of a good friend.
