This book holds explanations for all of those unexplained happenings in life -- GHOSTS! The ghosts of the chimney, TV, behind-the-curtains, and garden, along with the more ordinary ghosts of the attic, basement, night...and MORE!
Here are a few excerpts to give you the feel of this book:
The Ghost of the Kitchen
SQUAFUMPF...The door of the
refrigerator is pulled open.
PLOP! A package falls
to the floor. Who's that
moving around in the kitchen?
It's a gluttonous ghost that devours
anything and everything
that's white. Sugar: YUM!
Milk: SLURP!
.
.
.
Don't you love the sound of the refrigerator door? So perfect!
The Ghost of Gray Days
It's cold and damp and rainy. It's gray.
Dull gray. Neither black, nor white, but
gray: gray skies, gray clouds, gray air,
even gray wind. Weak, tired, down in the
dumps, and grumpy -- this is what the ghost
of gray days is like.

This is a fun book with lots to look at and and small caption-y text. It will be released too late for Halloween this year, but (at least according to the book) ghosts are everywhere all year long...if only we pay close enough attention!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all of the ghosts and goblins and trick-or-treaters in your world!
