Ghosts make great friends for life (and beyond)! If you're lucky enough to have a ghost find you, you'll need to know how to treat it right. Open up this "how-to" guide to discover how to be the best friend a ghost could ever ask for!
What do you do when you meet a ghost? One: Provide the ghost with some of its favorite snacks, like mud tarts and earwax truffles. Two: Tell your ghost bedtime stories (ghosts love to be read to). Three: Make sure no one mistakes your ghost for whipped cream or a marshmallow when you aren't looking! If you follow these few simple steps and the rest of the essential tips in How to Make Friends with a Ghost, you'll see how a ghost friend will lovingly grow up and grow old with you.
A whimsical story about ghost care, Rebecca Green's debut picture book is a perfect combination of offbeat humor, quirky and sweet illustrations, and the timeless theme of friendship.

A Friend for Life and Beyond
"~Disclaimer~ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my opinion of the book, or the content of my review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A how to guide on befriending a ghost. Here are a few rules. Rule #1. Do not try to track down a ghost. ~If you are sweet, warm and kins now will find you. Rule #2. Do not run away from a ghost. They are very sensitive. ~Instead greet it with a smile, wave and your name. I really really loved this book. I'm obsessed with everything spooky. When spookiness is mixed with cuteness it's a million times better. I thought that the end papers were so fun and cute. I liked the way that the illustrations were drawn. The do and don't were funny. All in all it's a must read for anyone into spooky reads and how to books. I plan on buying myself a physical copy when it comes out. Go check it out. 5/5 ⭐"
