Gilbert the Ghost

By Guido Van Genechten

Book Overview

This bestselling children's book, from award-winning author-illustrator Guido Van Genechten, is now a board book

"A little ghost unapologetically makes the most of being different... Different never looked so appealing. " --Kirkus Reviews

"A sweet story about outsider friendship that is just slightly scary in places... it's hard not to be charmed by Van Genechten's smiley, rosy-cheeked ghosts, who could give Casper a run for his money in the cuteness department." --Publishers Weekly

Gilbert goes to ghost school like all the other ghosts, but he's a special ghost: he doesn't like to screech in a scary way, he doesn't want to haunt and was always polite. What will happen to Gilbert when he's sent by the principal of school to the Abandoned Tower?

A warmhearted picture book by bestselling author-illustrator Guido Van Genechten about a different, special ghost. For quiet, and not so quiet, children ages 4 and up.

Customer Reviews

I don't get the hype

I bought this as a recommendation off of Pinterest, it was recommended several times by other pinners. Though, I am not sure what they hype truly was. The book was okay, the pictures are cute and all. The storyline made me a little sad, but I guess that is likely the point.
