Reach for this book when you notice your child struggling with the concepts of fairness or the idea of helping others without being asked. It is a perfect choice for children who might be acting a bit stingy with their toys or time, as it gently models how generosity creates a more joyful environment for everyone involved. The story follows a miserly man who buys a haunted cottage only to find that the resident ghost, Molly Limbo, expects a certain standard of kindness and cooperation. Through its whimsical folktale tone, the book explores themes of empathy, accountability, and the importance of appreciation. While it features a ghost, the atmosphere is more humorous and cozy than scary, making it suitable for children ages 5 to 9. It is a wonderful tool for opening conversations about how our actions affect the people (or spirits) we live with and how a little bit of help goes a long way.
