This chapter book, in the form of a picture book, was wonderful. It is about a stork who thinks their house is haunted. They call up their friend Pig who says hire a medium and have a seance to figure out who the ghost is and what they want. Hilarity ensues. This book was just cute. It was a bit tongue in cheek with an older style comedy, that all worked well together. In the past this book was banned for occult teaching, and disobedience to parents. I see none of that here. Okay, the occult yes, but not in a bad way. In a real way, in a fun way. What I do see if a little issue with consent that I would address if this book were in my collection, but overall, this is a wonderful story I would love to have in my collection.
