Get ready to fill this month with spooky fun filled books! Gustavo, the Shy Ghost by Flavia Z. Drago Gustavo is good at doing all sorts of ghostly things: walking through walls, making objects fly, and glowing in the dark. And he loves almost nothing more than playing beautiful music on his violin. But Gustavo is shy, and some things are harder for him to do, like getting in a line to buy eye scream or making friends with other monsters. Whenever he tries getting close to them, he realizes they just can’t see him. Now that the Day of the Dead is fast approaching, what can he do to make them notice him and to share with them something he loves? With fancifully detailed artwork and visual humor, debut picture-book creator Flavia Z. Drago’s vivid illustrations tell a sweet and gently offbeat story of loneliness, bravery, and friendship that is sure to be a treat for little ghouls and goblins everywhere. A Tiger Called Tomás by Charlotte Zolotow When Tomás and his family moved to a new house on a new street, he took it into his head that the new people might not like him. "Of course they'd like you," his mamá said. "Why wouldn't they? ¿Por qué no?" But Tomás didn't answer. Tomás's Mom encourages him to go out and meet the kids in his neighborhood, but Tomás is too shy. Instead, he sits on his stoop, watching the world go by. But on the night of Halloween, opportunity arrives in the form of a tiger costume, complete with a mask that hides his identity. He can go trick-or-treating without anyone knowing it's him. But Tomás will soon discover his costume doesn't hide him quite as well as he thinks... Comments are closed.
