This addresses a common childhood fear of ghosts in the room at bedtime. The Little Princess is sure there is a ghost under her bed and wants her light left on. Everyone in the house tries to tell her ghosts don't exist, but she isn't convinced. Well it turns out there is a ghost in her room, but the ghost is just as afraid of her as she is of it. The ghost runs back to where he lives in the castle and says, "Mom, Mom, I've seen a little girl!" Mom replies, "Don't be silly, there are no such things as little girls!" My 4 year old asked to read this often, calling it "the spooky book". I think he was a little bit scared of the ghost, but was intrigued by the story. It made him laugh every time to find out that the ghost was afraid of the little girl too.
