These past few weeks, my three-year-old son has been going through a "ghost" phase--pretending to be ghost, asking to hear ghost stories, and so on. Naturally, I seized this as an opportunity to begin indoctrinating him into ghost fiction. Figuring that he was a little young for, say, Chris Priestley, I ordered him a couple of recent ghost-themed books. My favorite is Kazuno Kohara's Ghosts in the House. The winner of a New York Times award, it tells a charming tale about how a young witch deals with the ghosts haunting her home. The illustrations are wonderful: This evening, I'm going to try it out on him and find out what he thinks. Now if only someone would come out with a picture-book version of "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You," "The Face," or "The Red Lodge" . . . |
