Book Reviews of Ten Timid Ghosts (Read With Me Paperbacks)
Book Review: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 How Many Ghosts Are Remaining ?
Summary: 4 Stars
Life may be moving along at a fairly quiet pace, that is, until something happens to disturb your life. In this story, the witch who moves into the house decides to scare away the ten ghosts, one at a time; she uses various disguises, like a skeleton, a bat, a ghoul, a cat, an owl, a vampire, a monster, a spider, a rat, and a mummy. Each of the ghosts are scared away and become homeless. It's the last ghost that is quite clever; this ghost has a gift for figuring out things, and realizes that it was the witch all the time, who was disguised as one of the other creatures.
Now, the ten homeless ghosts are angry, and decide to take the matter into their own hands. They want their house back. If you read this story you will notice that it is also a lesson in subtraction, going backwards until only one ghost is left. What a clever holiday book to use to teach your child how to subtract, one at a time. The rhyming elements will enable your child to repeat the story, with emphasis on the rhyming words, as he or she identifies how many ghosts are left, each time.
Any holiday book with a lesson contained within will be a help to the parent and the child who is learning to see what happens as something is removed from a collection, and he or she has to identify how many are remaining.
A simple story, with nothing to fear!
