Boo, the smallest in his ghost family, enjoys the first time he’s allowed to stay up late whistling a “happy-ghost-lucky time.” He doesn’t think he can sleep until his wise mother helps him listen for comfy night sounds. Soft lines and gentle forms illustrate the gently rhyming onomatopoetic language for a mellow, non-scary Halloween story for younger children.
