We're Going On A Ghost Hunt (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
We're Going on a Ghost Hunt is written in the same form as We're Going on a Bear Hunt. If your child already knows that, then this slight shift is a fun "spooky" story. I like reading it in the rhythm of the song so that my child can read along. It makes her feel happy that she is reading, even though I know it is just because she has memorized the rhythm of the song. It works really well with some sound effects and movements while you are first reading through the book.The pictures are cute. Each scene is detailed and the children are a good mix of real features and cartoonish fun. I especially like the drawings of the swamp. The kids pulling their feet out of the muck is pretty cute. Overall, this is a great Halloween time story, but not one that is begged for every night. Susan Pearson, We're Going on a Ghost Hunt (Amazon Children's Publishing, 2012)Full disclosure: this book was provided to me free of charge by Amazon Vine.“We're Going on a Bear Hunt” retooled for Halloween, natch, with an amusing set of spooky landscapes. Some of the onomatopoeics seem forced, but nothing that's going to jar while you're reading it as long as you give it a quick read to yourself before trying it aloud for the kiddies. And, yes, “forget the tree!” does make an appearance. This is new to the household, so I don't have any data on how well it stands up to repeat readings, but when we cracked it open the first time and gave it a read, he was attentive and enjoyed the rhythm and sounds, and so did we. *** ½
