Poultrygeist

This is not exactly a Halloween story, but it could be read around this time of the year. This book is a tongue-in-cheek story on the old joke about the chicken crossing the road.

Title: Poultrygeist

Author: Eric Geron

Illustrator: Pete Oswald

Publisher: Candlewick

A truck is coming down the road when a chicken is trying to cross the road to get to the other side. Sadly, the truck hits the chicken. As per the scary ghosts on the other side of the road, the chicken has become a poultrygeist and her job is now to haunt making noises and creating troubles! However, the chicken doesn't want to haunt anyone or be the problematic ghost, she wants to be a friendly ghost, but the ghosts of all the other creatures want the chicken to be a scary ghost. Unfortunately, at last, the chicken becomes very angry and transforms into a scary poultrygeist!

📚 A (little too) dark humored story than some kids would prefer, but the story still has a playful side. Still a good Halloween read!

📚 Illustrations are humorous and gorgeous (not scary).

📚 Recommended for kids ages 4+
