What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book features a ghost protagonist, a character often associated with death. However, the approach is entirely secular and fantastical. The 'ghost' is simply a character type, like an elf or a fairy. There is no mention of death, the afterlife, or how one becomes a ghost. The tone is completely light and humorous, stripping the concept of any scary or somber connotations.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old who recently heard a scary ghost story from an older sibling and is starting to get nervous at bedtime. This book is also perfect for any child aged 3 to 6 who loves 'potty humor' and absurd situations, and who needs a book that is pure entertainment without a heavy moral lesson.
