I think the illustrations in the newer book are more appropriate for really young children.

The book went out of print. I guess when they were thinking about reprinting the book the publisher didn't want to use the original illustrations...so Michelson adapted the text. I think the new illustrations are great, too. I also liked the ones in the first book. I used the earlier book as a read-aloud for Halloween...with the lights turned off and the electric jack-o-lanterns turned on. The kids loved it! Sooo spoooky!!!Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-41080686438886732102007-07-31T11:18:00.000-04:002007-07-31T11:18:00.000-04:00Good purchases.

My two girls (ages three and almost two) are absolutely obsessed with Oh No, Not Ghosts! -- they don't care if it's Easter, Valentine's Day, or Christmas. They want to read it year-round (and I say that, simply 'cause it would work so well as a Halloween book). It's a great book. I love his manic illustrations (that's a compliment). <BR/><BR/>Those were some of the presenters?!

They're written for middle readers...and illustrated with outstanding photographs by Nic Bishop.
