Some of my favorite stories

Robert Bright was inspired to write his Georgie the Ghost series after he caught his children peering under their bed looking for a ghost. Considered a classic, the stories follow the adventures of Georgie, a friendly ghost who lives with the Whittakers.

We have several different variations of the traditional tale about the Teeny Tiny Woman who discovers a bone while walking outside. Placing it in her cupboard, she is awakened in the night by a voice demanding, “Where Is my bone!”  Try the Teeny Tiny Woman by Arthur Robins.
 
Prolific author, Tony Johnston pens another of my all-time favorite ghost stories, The

Ghost of Nicholas Greebe. Set in Colonial Massachusettes, the ghost of the recently-buried Nicholas Greebe haunts his farm after a dog takes one of his bones on a long journey that spans almost 100 years.

In The Stranger by Chris Van Allsburg the origins of a stranger seem to have a mysterious connection to the weather. A good book to share for those who love to pore over illustrations.

And no list would be complete without a Henry and Mudge story. Here, in Henry and Mudge and the Yellow Moon by Cynthia Rylant, Henry and his dog Mudge watch the leaves turn, meet with some Halloween spooks, and share Thanksgiving dinner.

Happy Reading.
