Bookroo's summary

Four adventurous children embark on a nighttime quest to find a ghost. They squish through swamps and rustle through cornfields, facing eerie challenges at every turn. When they finally encounter the ghost in a graveyard, the thrill turns to a frantic race back to safety. Will they make it home before the ghost catches up? This lively, rhyming tale promises a heart-pounding adventure filled with suspense and humor.

From the publisher

Susan Pearson has written her own unique version of the popular song, “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt,” introducing four children who go out at night in search of a ghost. After squish-squash-squooshing through a swamp, rustle-rustle-rat-a-tattling through a cornfield, and overcoming all kinds of obstacles on their journey, they come face to face with a ghost in a graveyard. Then–RUN! RUN! RUN!–they race back to the safety of their warm, cozy house. S.D. Schindler’s spirited illustrations bring warmth and humor to this lively rhyming read-aloud.
