Bookroo's summary
Leonard, a cheerful ghost, is on a mission to create the scariest haunted house for his family. Yet, as he builds, the house becomes less terrifying and more cozy. Will Leonard's creation surprise everyone with its hidden spookiness, or will it defy all ghostly expectations? Dive into this hilarious tale of family, creativity, and the unexpected twists of building a home that truly reflects who you are.
From the publisher
Perfect for fans of Gustavo the Shy Ghost, this laugh-out-loud picture book puts a charming twist on the classic haunted house tale–a funny, spook-tacular read for Halloween or any time of year. Leonard the cheerful, can-do ghost is building his family members a new haunted house. It needs to be the scariest house EVER! Except the more Leonard builds, the less creepy their new home looks. From the un-scary cellar to the snug roof that doesn’t leak, it’s nothing like the house of horrors his family imagined . . . or is it? Mike Ciccotello’s Leonard Builds a Haunted House is a hilariously triumphant tale about family, moving, house-building–and the spirit it takes to make something truly you.
