Big laughs from this early reader. Broken into three stories,

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Through the clever use of speech bubbles and Wohnoutka’s
delightful, inventive illustrations, three invisible things are
animated and given tremendous personality. It is a remarkable feat
to pack so many genuine laughs into such a simple text for emerging
readers. . . This Geisel-winning series keeps the bar high with
this newest installment. Not only does it set beginning readers up
for success with repetition and context clues galore, but it
entertains to its very core.
—Booklist (starred review)
Children will enjoy Mike Wohnoutka’s comic-strip-style
illustrations of the dog and cat protagonists in the story. . . .
See the Ghost is one of those early readers that adults won’t mind
reading with their children/students. And if you’re one of those
people who judge the price of a children’s book by how many times
it gets read, you’ll be satisfied. They’ll pick this one up until
they can read it all by themselves, after which you can pass it on
to another beginning reader who is sure to appreciate it.
