How to Haunt a House

Carolyn Crimi

Clever ghosts-in-training solve a scary haunted house problem.

Groana, Moana, and Shrieky are three little ghosties learning the tricks to giving a good scare. They stomp around, spook family pets, and slam toilet seats. They're all set to pass their Halloween test, until they find a family that doesn't scare easily. In fact, they LOVE everything the ghosties send their way--especially the bats and rats! What does it take to horrify a household like this one? Sometimes you have to think outside the box (or casket!) to find a way around a problem.

Praise for this book

"Crimi's rhyming story nicely leverages unpredictability to keep preschoolers engaged. Miller's illustrations are age appropriate and appealing--nothing's too spooky here--with a comic-book feel."--Kirkus Reviews

"This rhyming Halloween story is at once enjoyable and educational, showcasing the power of teamwork and tenacity against the backdrop of a playful haunting. Rhyming couplets give the narrative a singsong beat."--School Library Journal
