Ghosts by Fiona Dalwood is a whimsical and thought-provoking children’s book that imagines the hidden hands behind life’s little mysteries as playful, mischievous spirits. Dalwood’s ghosts are behind every odd event you’ve ever wondered about but never questioned—like holes in socks, mysteriously toilet paper finishing in public restrooms, and random shoes hanging over power lines. This delightful story invites young readers on an exciting adventure where quirky, ghostly characters add a fun twist to everyday mysteries. With a perfect blend of humor and intrigue, the book features colorful and lively illustrations that encourage kids to see the world freshly and imaginatively. It’s a playful journey that sparks curiosity and rethinks all those little wonders around us!
I enjoyed reading Ghosts! It’s such a fun and original book that has the perfect mix of humor and wonder, making it a joy for both kids and the adults who read along with them. Dalwood’s writing style is nice and simple yet engaging, with just enough suspense to keep young readers excited and turning the pages. I love how well the pacing fits kids' attention spans. Each little mystery gives a quick feeling of satisfaction while building up to a bigger theme of curiosity. The characters may not stand out as individuals, but together they create a vibrant personality that captures the mischievousness, curiosity, and playfulness kids can totally relate to. The themes of imagination and thinking outside the box are powerful, yet easy for kids to grasp. Ghosts is beautifully illustrated and cleverly crafted, inspiring creativity and curiosity. I believe it’s an awesome choice for kids ready to explore the "what-ifs" and discover the wonders of the world around them!
