Customer Reviews

Beautiful...

I thought this book was just lovely. My daughter was enchanted by the beautiful pictures and loved asking questions about "Jinnie Ghost" - the bringer of dreams. I understand why it may not be for everyone -- but I thought it was lovely and poetic. And my 4 year old wanted to hear it over and over. She can recite it now.

Jinnie Ghost by Berlie Doherty and Jane Ray

Just in time for Halloween, the prolific team of Berlie Doherty and Jane Ray offer a lyrical ghost story. Jinnie Ghost, "thin as the wind," sweeps from house to house causing the strange night noises and other phenomena known so well by children. The children see her, but Jinnie Ghost "doesn't turn her head" if she hears them. As she flits through sleeping children's rooms, each child has a fantastic flight of imagination. Doherty's poetical text are a perfect match with Ray's eerie nighttime illustrations. However, Jinnie Ghost is hauntingly real and may be too frightening for toddlers and some preschoolers despite the gentle text. For children wanting some slight shivers, this is a recommended read.
