Martin and the Pumpkin Ghost ISBN: 9781558582675
Ostheeren, Ingrid and Unzner-Fischer, Christa
Published by North-South, 1994

Martin is fearful of most things. Then one night he has a dream in which a nice witch tells him to listen to the Pumpkin Ghost - that he will help Martin be brave. Martin finds the idea very strange, but, sure enough, the next morning he begins to hear a little voice that tells him what to do. The Pumpkin Ghost helps Martin learn that being honest is best, that bullies aren't always what they seem and even how to walk past big dogs without being frightened. Part of Martin's problem is that he has tended to react to his fears with aggression, and he must learn this is not the way. Excellent illustrations.
Age: 4+
