Ten Timid Ghosts Paperback – September 1, 2000

He could not have loved it more. My nephew is 2 and he kept asking us to read it over and over the first night. When one of us got tired of reading it, we'd send him over to the next person to read it. He had us read it at least 10 times the first night and we would let him chime in at certain parts that he learned fast.The repetitive requests to read it continued on well beyond the first night according to my sister.The book has a very rhythmic feel. Making it easy and fun to read. I like how the ghosts work as a team and stand up for themselves against the bully/witch at the end.The pictures are super cute too. My nephew enjoyed finding all the ghosts in each of their hiding places on every page.I would buy it 5 times over if I had to. Totally worth every penny!

My son who loves all things Halloween loves this book. It’s great for counting and has lots of fun rhymes. The story is also really cute and the pictures are lots of fun. Great Halloween book for our house!

I love this book soo much and do does my child. They bring it to me and my SO to read to them all of the time.My child loves the ghosts and will give them kisses as we read it, which I love. 🖤The artwork is beautiful and it is a super fun and easy read. This is a book we will have for a while and I hope my child continues to love it as they get older

Prepare yourselves, mortals and ghost story enthusiasts, for I am about to spin a spine-tingling yarn about "Ten Timid Ghosts (Read With Me Paperbacks)" – a ghastly gathering of ghoulishly funny spirits that will tickle your funny bone and haunt your heart in the most delightful way!Picture this: Ten timid ghosts, quivering in their spectral boots, attempting to outwit a bold and mischievous witch. It's like a ghostly game of hide-and-seek with a dash of comedy and a sprinkle of Halloween magic. The ghosts are so timid; even Casper would give them a pep talk on courage.Now, onto the witch – oh, the witch! She's not just a villain; she's a trickster with a flair for humorous hocus-pocus. Her attempts to scare the timid ghosts are more amusing than a skeleton doing the cha-cha. It's like she's auditioning for a stand-up comedy special in the spookiest comedy club in the afterlife.But here's where the real magic happens – the illustrations. Jennifer O'Connell has painted a visual masterpiece that's both spooky and giggle-inducing. The expressions on the ghosts' faces as they face the witch's antics are priceless – from wide-eyed terror to befuddled bewilderment. It's like the illustrations are in on the joke, conspiring with the ghosts to turn the pages into a ghostly giggle-fest.Now, for the skeptics who might question the necessity of a Halloween-themed ghost story, let me assure you – "Ten Timid Ghosts" is not just a book; it's a spectral sensation, a treat for both the little tricksters and the big kids at heart. It's a reminder that even in the realm of spookiness, laughter is the best potion to stir into the cauldron of ghostly tales.In conclusion, "Ten Timid Ghosts (Read With Me Paperbacks)" is not just a Halloween book; it's a comedic séance, a pumpkin-flavored riot, and a delightful dance with the supernatural. So, gather 'round, unleash your inner ghostly giggles, and let this book be your guide through the haunted hilarity of Halloween!

Very fun book. My grandson likes to count the ghosts and read along.

My son is 3 and in preschool. He LOVES all things spooky and is obsessed with counting, so this was a fun book to get. It has adorable illustrations and a catchy rhythm. I get a little tired of reading the same thing over and over, but we all know repetition is great for kiddos! As we count down, he’s learning what number comes next. I hear him counting backwards from 10 all day now!Watch for cute little details in the pictures! For example, every new character is actually the witch dressed up (or she’s involved in some way, like holding the dangling spider). I also love the back page, which shows the witch riding off by the moon. If you look closely, she doesn’t have her hat on…. The ghost waving goodbye has it!! So cute.Highly recommend adding it to your Fall book rotation!! It’s perfect for ages 3+, but younger toddlers will like the pictures and counting, too.Hope this helps! 😉

This story is cute but I'm concerned about quality control. The fold wasn't stapled right so the book pages slide over on a weird angle. I don't know if I just happened to get a fluke or if it happens frequently.

I’ve read this book to my kids for years and they absolutely love it. It’s a fun way to practice subtracting and I hear my kids reciting the book throughout the day. It’s a great gifting book as well.
