Little Ghost Goes Boo! by Sunita Nahar is a joyful picture book perfect for early years settings. It stars a lovable, friendly ghost who is trying to find his voice. Little Ghost is excited for Halloween, but when the day arrives, he can’t remember the words he is supposed to say to scare everyone.
He tries lots of silly alternatives — LOO? GOO? POO?! — that will make young listeners laugh and join in. Eventually, Little Ghost meets a kind friend who helps him find the right words he needs.
The key message in the story is about believing in yourself — and with a little encouragement from a good friend, you can get it right. Repeated phrases and bright illustrations make this book an excellent wholeclass read in Nursery or Reception, especially for exploring themes of bravery, friendship, confidence and trying something new.
