Gilbert the Ghost
Gilbert the Ghost | Guido Genechten
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Bestselling children's book, from award-winning author-illustrator Guido Van Genechten, is now a BOARD BOOK! Perfect for Halloween storytime or any other time! "A little ghost unapologetically makes the most of being different....Different never looked so appealing. " - Kirkus Reviews "A sweet story about outsider friendship that is just slightly scary in places.... it's hard not to be charmed by van Genechten's smiley, rosy-cheeked ghosts, who could give Casper a run for his money in the cuteness department" - Publisher's Weekly Ghost Gilbert is a very special ghost, ever since he was little. When he goes to Ghost school, he quickly makes a lot of new friends. Gilbert always cheerfully takes part in everything. But when the Principal wants him to call "Boooooooh" just like a real ghost, all Gilbert can do is whisper a soft "Bahoo". Will Gilbert ever become a real ghost? A warm picture book about a different and special ghost, about fitting in and being true to yourself.

This is one of daughter‘s absolute favorite Halloween books. Cute story about a ghost that is kind, gentle, & doesn‘t want to be scary. #scarathon #BatBrigade

Originally published in Belgium and the Netherlands as 'Spookje Spartacus,' this rather tall picture-book is an absolute delight, pairing an engaging tale of a gentle little ghost and his unusual path through life(?) with wonderfully appealing artwork. I loved the cozy home that Gilbert and his feline friend, Meow, made for themselves.

This SF- RA book is a cute story good for Halloween time. It‘s about a little ghost named Gilbert who is not like the other ghosts and doesn‘t like being scary. He also makes an unlikely friend who helps him be himself.

AlexRobinson This seems like SUCH a cute book!! I always love these kind of Halloween books that takes the element of “scary” away as some students just don‘t like the scary books! It also gives students a different perspective, teaches themes of bravery, emotions, and non-judgement (in this case not judging Gilbert!) and the activity you picked to go along with it is SO cute! I will be saving that link! 3y
DrSpalding Holidays are a wonderful time to incorporate quality children‘s literature. This would be considered modern fantasy rather than science fiction. The front cover certainly is engaging. 3y
