Synopsis

Can YOU find the ghosts in this spookily sweet search-and-find picture book? When a little child is told there's no such thing as ghosts, they don't believe it for a second. Ghosts MUST exist - after all, they're always in books and films! But if they've got any chance of proving that ghosts are real, this kid needs proof! And so, starts a wonderful journey.

Do ghosts exist? If you look closely enough, you might just see one go "BOO!" With a super-sparkly foiled cover, this is the perfect treat for children who love ghosts and all things Halloween. A super-fun rhyming text that will put a smile on your face. Stunning, atmospheric illustrations on every page - and hidden ghosts that children will love to spot.

Also available: There's No Such Thing as Unicorns, There's No Such Thing as Elves, There's No Such Thing as Mermaids and There's No Such Thing as Dragons

There's No Such Thing as Ghosts is a fun Halloween ghost hunt with a lovely rhyming text and great illustrations.

The book follows a little girl as she seeks to prove her mummy wrong and that ghosts do exist. She searches her house in the attic and cellar, the woods, a haunted house and even a ghost train and castle but to no avail… However, just as she gives up she gets a surprise at the bandstand while walking home!

A great book that displays inclusivity with a same-sex parent household. My daughter loved finding the ghost on each page - some are quite tricky to spot! Perfect for reading in October in the run up to Halloween.
