This was on the shelves of my second grade classroom. I read it because ghosts. 

As a bookseller, I know that these earliest "chapter" books for young readers haven't undergone the renaissance that picture-books, middle grade, and ya titles have. For the most part they're still under-developed fluff like this. It would be nice to come across one of these that doesn't try my patience.
