A parent might reach for this book when their child is navigating the tricky waters of early friendships, especially those moments when someone feels left out or misunderstood. While the characters are mythical monsters, their problems are entirely human: forgetting a friend's preference, dealing with hurt feelings, or making a mistake and needing to apologize. These five gentle stories use the trio of Witch, Goblin, and Ghost to model how friends can disagree and still care for one another. The simple language and chapter format make it an ideal bridge for children transitioning from picture books to independent reading. It is a comforting choice for children who may be sensitive to conflict, as every story resolves with warmth and emotional safety.
