"This gentle ghost story, with a white-bearded protagonist who could easily stand in for Santa, is a good choice for young readers looking for light suspense but no real frights."--Booklist, This is a great rhyming read-aloud, especially if the reader's voice embraces the drama... A delicious scare for audiences ready for chills. -- Kirkus Reviews|9780807528648|, "After inheriting a drafty cottage on a lonely hill, Old Dave does his best to turn his "new" house into a home. He embarks on a series of repairs that might ruffle someone with a more lively imagination. A loud moan from the bathroom? Probably old pipes. A wail from the cellar? A broken windowpane is surely to blame. Old Dave explains away all the creepy noises, but when it's time to go to bed, he hears a voice clearly say, "Ghastly ghosts in the old coal shed!" In that moment the fireplace's flames go out, forcing Old Dave to gather his courage and head to the haunted shed for more coal, where it's revealed that ghosts aren't necessarily always out to scare you. This gentle ghost story, with a white-bearded protagonist who could easily stand in for Santa, is a good choice for young readers looking for light suspense but no real frights. Cartoonish illustrations underscore the book's ultimate message that unlikely friendships can create a warm home." -- Booklist, "Dave, a gentle man with a white beard, moves into his deceased uncle's cabin and finds it a lonely place. He soon hears moans, groans, and wails, noises that he attributes to mice or drafty windows. However, voices shrieking "Ghastly ghosts in the old coal shed!" are harder to explain away. Lamug's artwork does a marvelous job of showing scenes that are off-kilter on one page and then normal the next. For instance, the tilted windows and open door of the dilapidated old coal shed give it a menacing visage the closer Dave gets to revealing its secrets, but the shed looks normal once the ghosts inside are revealed to be just as lonely as the man himself. The text seems to be a hair smaller than in many picture books for this age group, and it is tucked away in the beams of the cabin, the sloped ceiling of the attic, and in the pale yellow glow of the moon. The small size and location of the text practically dares readers to lean in closer to the artwork, making it all the more jarring when a large, bold, stylized typeface is suddenly used to convey the ghosts' shrieks. Text placing is spot-on throughout, up until the last page where the text subtly leads readers' eyes to the coal shed, no longer looking carnivorous. The final scene is heartwarming with Dave and the ghosts enjoying a fun time by the fire, lonely souls who have found one another. VERDICT Bateman plays with the frightening horror tropes of isolation and creepy old cabins but gives them a child-friendly spin in the end. Recommended for anyone who wants an eerie tale with a cheery ending." -- School Library Journal, "This is a great rhyming read-aloud, especially if the reader's voice embraces the drama... A delicious scare for audiences ready for chills." -- Kirkus Reviews, "This is a great rhyming read-aloud, especially if the reader's voice embraces the drama... A delicious scare for audiences ready for chills." Kirkus Reviews

    Item was priced well and a good value, received in a very timely manner and well-packaged. Was in the exact condition described and appearance matched seller's picture(s). Would recommend seller unreservedly and will do business with them in the future. Although customer service was not needed for this sale, I have dealt with Book Outlet numerous times over the years and, when necessary, can say their customer service team is top-notch!

    This is a frustrated positive feedback. I am always perplexed when sellers choose to ship via an "off-brand" shipper, e.g., OSM Worldwide. This tends to delay the time it takes to get to me vs more "traditioaal" shipped, e.g., USPS, UPS, or FED-EX. This is a pretty good seller. The price was good, the shipping pretty prompt (though deliver took a bit longer than I expected), and the communication was pretty good as well.

    The book was carefully packaged and arrived in perfect condition. (Nothing is more upsetting than to buy a "coffee table" book of photos and have it arrive in a tattered condition due to insufficient packaging.) In this case, it arrived in the condition that was advertised by the seller. Thanks so much!!
