The Haunted Ghoul Bus

By Lisa Trumbauer

Book Overview

Of course children know about the big yellow school bus...but have they ever heard about the haunted ghoul bus ? It's wilder and way cooler, with a Mutant Mummy driver and a menagerie of monster passengers. But one Halloween day someone else gets on board by mistake: a normal little boy. Soon he's taking a ride with a furry werewolf, a skeleton whose rickety bones go clitter-clatter, a grinning pumpkin head, a swirl of bats, and a friendly witch named Dolores.? Told in fun and appealing rhyme, and featuring holiday-bright illustrations of a cast of unforgettable characters, this playful picture book has sturdy cardstock pages and embossing throughout. It's perfect for celebrating a (not too) scary Halloween. Kids will want the ghoul bus to come to their neighborhood, too! ???????????

Customer Reviews

Great Halloween book - a hit for my boys!

My kids love this book. Unlike the other reviewer, I find the lyrics to be entertaining and laugh-out-loud. At the very least, you'll smile each time you read it. My four-year-old loves this book; we read it year-round. My 18-month-old loves the textures on the pages as the graphics are embossed. We received it as a gift, but I will probably by it for many others as Halloween gifts. Love it!

Entertaining!

The Haunted Ghoul Bus is very entertaining! The characters really come alive through the creative and eye catching illustrations! After reading this I want to see what other adventures the little boy may have! He seems like a fun little kid who could go to all sorts of fun places! All the small details in the illustrations and the embossed pages make each page fun to look at!

Ghoulishly good time!

We received this yesterday and my 4 year old and 2 year old LOVE it. My 4 year old has made me read it a million times already. Every time he looks at it he finds something new in the drawings, "look at the 3 eyed spider Mommy!" This book is clever and fun, I'm sure it will be a fixture way past Halloween.
