Matheis, Mickie Bedtime for Boo, illustrated by Bonnie Leick. Golden Book (Random), New York, 2012. Content: G. Picture Book.
Boo is a little ghost in a deserted house at the top of a lonely hill. As his momma puts him to sleep, she has him listen to all of the sounds around him.
At first I thought this was just a Casper the Friendly Ghost rip off, but when the onomatopoeia of the last few pages arrives, then the book takes off. For that reason alone I would suggest adding it to an elementary collection for teachers to use during October for a fun lesson on onomatopoeia - and a little spookiness.
