"A joyful, rhyming text about a mischievous castle ghost, perfect for both Halloween and pantomime season. "
This rhythmic, rhyming text is set in a green, green castle on a green, green hill, whose inhabitants are plagued by a mysterious presence who keeps shouting "BOO!" and giving everyone a fright. Thus begins a chase around the castle to track down the phantom 'boo'-er, until the Jester comes up with a clever solution.
Young readers will love this pantomime-like caper, with the opportunity to call out "he's behind you!" every time the little green ghost appears, camouflaged as he is. There's also plenty of humour to be found in the patterned text as everyone attempts to pin the blame on someone else. As for how the tables are finally turned on our mischievous spirit, the narrative calls to mind the classic picturebook Winnie and Wilbur, which likewise features a generous splash of colourful paint.
Ideal for readers looking for a seasonal read-aloud, and the perfect companion to such books as A Dark, Dark Tale, Aaaarrgghh, Spider!, and Gustavo the Shy Ghost.
In the green, green castle with the green, green doorAnd green, green carpets on the green, green floor,There lived a little ghost who was never seen,And that is because he was green, green, green!
