The Haunted Hamburger and Other Ghostly Stories
by David LaRochelle
illustrated by Paul Meisel
Dutton Children's Books, 2011
Ages 4 to 8
ISBN 978-0-525-42272-3
When two little ghosts refuse to go to sleep, there's only one thing left for their father to do: tell them spooky ghost stories. But what proves scary for little ghosts will be hilarious to children. A ghost who is used as a diaper? A hamburger who can win a scary face contest without moving? Read the book to find out the details...if you dare! It's a frightfully funny read aloud any time of the year. |

 “The humor is freewheeling and perfectly calibrated...it should evoke both sniggers and belly laughs.... Perfect for Halloween—but too good not to read all year round.” |

“Meisel’s hapless, gap-toothed ghosts and LaRochelle’s knack for pitch-perfect bedtime storytelling make these stories light on horror but heavy on laughs.” |

“As fresh as LaRochelle’s text is, Meisel’s playfully rendered illustrations capture every ridiculous, giggle-inducing moment and amps it right up. Share with the most sleep-resistant and squirmy kids for a surefire read-aloud romp.” |
