Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps.
Sir Simon: Super Scarer by Cale Atkinson
A delightful, funny story of friendship, ghost chores, a spooky house and a professional haunter.
Meet Sir Simon, Super Scarer. He's a professional ghost who has been transferred to his first house. And just in time! He was getting tired of haunting bus stops and forests and potatoes. And to top it off, this house is occupied by an old lady -- they're the easiest to haunt!
But things don't go as planned when it turns out a KID comes with this old lady. Chester spots Simon immediately and peppers him with questions. Simon is exasperated. . . until he realizes he can trick Chester into doing his ghost chores. Spooky sounds, footsteps in the attic, creaks on the stairs -- these things don't happen on their own, you know!
After a long night of haunting, it seems that maybe Chester isn't cut out to be a ghost, so Simon decides to help with Chester's human chores. Turns out Simon isn't cut out for human chores either.
But maybe they're both cut out to be friends
Do you like this book?
Yeah because it's about ghosts! But not a scary ghost. OOoooh.
What's your favorite part of the book?
When the kid makes scary animal sounds like mooo and oink oink oink. He makes the ghost want to face palm!
What do you think of the cover?
I love it because it has a ghost and pizza. I love pizza.
Oh my goodness this book is hilarious! It's so great. The artwork is super adorable and I loved the ghost.
The ghost in this book is trying to teach a little kid how to be a scarer. The kid has no idea how to be scary though. He even puts a sheet on... The problem is, it's a pink flowery sheet. Anyway, he tricks the kid into doing all his ghostly chores so he doesn't have to.
One bad thing is the format. It was sideways and half cut off and I'm pretty sure that the pages are out of order because it doesn't make sense.
I will be buying this book for Finn however, because it's awesome.
