Silly Ghosts

Silly Ghosts

Author: Janet Lawler
Illustrator: Anna Chambers
Engineering by: Yevgeniya Yeretskaya
Genre: Fiction, Pop-up book
Grade: Pre-K and up


This is a Halloween pop-up book about ghosts. The silly ghosts pop out at night and they are looking for something or someone. Either a place to hide or to hunt, they are either searching for a party or a feast. The silly ghosts blow out candles that are lit and they play spooky games. They are looking for a special kid and now that they have seen you, they hope you will share with them a Happy Halloween.


This is a great pop-up book to share to the students in Halloween. I will not let the lower grade level touch this for it is delicate. I will prefer the 3rd grade students and up to handle it with care than the Pre-k students. This pop-up book is really simple and colorful. The silly ghosts of course pop out of the book and that there are parts that you pull a paper handle and the picture in the book disappears which is unique. I will definitely show this to my students near or during Halloween so that they will enjoy it. It is very appropriate to students and it is not scary at all.

Dark Emperor & Other Poems of the Night

Dark Emperor & Other Poems of the Night Author: Joyce Sidman Illustrator: Rick Allen Genre: Poetry Ages or Grade: 3 rd through 5 th grade This book consists of poems about animals especially night animals. It consists of a lot of sounding words and informative concrete detailed words. This poem book talks about each night creatures and tells a story of what they do at night. This is a good poem book to keep in my future classroom because each poem makes you imagine and see it vividly in your mind by the way the words are put together. This is also informative for students and will be helpful for classification or science class because it explains weather, animals, and classifications. Not only it is a poem book it is also informative and has a lot of fun facts for students to read on the side of every page.
