Customer Reviews

Salmon, and salad, and cheese!

This is a very good children's book, perfect for Halloween, but really, anytime. As you may guess, the ghosts have a dinner party, and their physical appearances change as they consume their feast. At the end, after the warm milk, there is a terrific scare. My daughter loves this book, and I think it made her interested in eating salmon (which she now loves).

THIS BOOK IS SO MUCH FUN!

It is about a dinner party of ghosts. At this dinner they have many courses and each course brings changes in the ghost apperiences. If they were to have grape juice they all turn purple etc. My personal favorite is the swiss cheese but you'll have to buy the book to see that ! My son loves this book.... it's like reading it again for the first time everytime he picks it up. It is a great halloween gift!

One of the cutest books ever!

This is one of the cutest books ever and a favorite of my three-year-olds! She didn't want to take it back to the library, but I convinced her after telling her we would buy it. Henry prepares a meal for his friends and they turn different colors with every course. Just watch what happens when they drink their milk!

A Favorite-- read it over and over again for toddlers

This book was a favorite of my daughters when they were 2 and 3. Now, 4 years later, my almost 3 year old son has requested it at night for a month. Very funny and teaches colors.

Very entertaining and imaginative!

This book is really clever. I recently read it to my son's kindergarten class of 29 kids, and they all were caught up in it. Their teacher asked me for the title and author so she can find it for her personal class library.They (and I!) loved the side effect of the food and beverages consumed, and Henry's great idea at the end to enable the ghosts to return to normal.
