Kids will make a new friend in Sad Ghost, to revisit every Fall. The art is endearing, with details to discover at each read. The rhymes are fun and unpredictable. The questions are thought-provoking and cool. It's beautifully done on all levels." ─Peter Von Brown, author of <em>Peter Pan's NeverWorld</em> and author-illustrator of <em>Wolverton</em></p><p>"What a truly special book! One of the best children's books I have seen, undoubtedly! I adored the gentle rhyme and the momentum of the story, as the unseen narrator queries the "sad ghost" protagonist as to why it is sad. You can just hear its resignation to sadness as it responds to each query, and then its awakened delight at the end. The illustrations are endearing and so is the text." ─Mallory Anne-Marie H, <em>NetGalley</em> Reviewer</p><p>"It's cute! I adore the illustrations, which remind me of Edward Gorey or Tim Burton. A fun story about my favorite spooky holiday!" ─Alice Mitchell, Youth Services Manager, Fondulac Library District</p><p>"With imaginative illustrations and beguiling rhyme....Each illustration is a story in and of itself. From a candy corn rug, to haunting silhouettes, there are small touches here that speak to Jones's attention to detail and perceptive mind....Celia Jones has created a Halloween classic." ─Mary Lawrence, author of <em>The Bianca Goddard Mysteries</em></p><p>"Kids will relate to the ghost anxiously waiting for Halloween. In addition, you are treated with beautiful illustrations to compliment the story. I will read it to my grandchildren." ─Amos Knoll, award-winning author of <em>The Red-haired Dragon</em></p><p>"It's spooky season! <em>Why do you Cry, Sad Ghost?</em> Is a children's book with an unidentified narrator asking the sad ghost why it's sad. The words are written in rhyme which will likely appeal to children. The illustrations are fun and don't shy away from being more on the scary side which will appeal to the people reading this book to children. Overall it was cute." ─Kathryn C, <em>NetGalley</em> Reviewer</p><p>"Perfect for this Halloween! I am so impressed with everything about this book!
