What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The ghosts are depicted as abstract, friendly characters in costumes rather than spirits of the deceased. The approach is entirely secular and celebratory.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who loves tactile books and is just starting to notice pumpkins and costumes in their neighborhood, but might feel apprehensive about traditional 'scary' imagery.
