Some kids are scared of ghosts, others live for the thrill of a transparent friend.
For those who have kids who fall into the second camp, the new picture book My First Ghost (complete with a ghost inside!) is sure to be a treat, not a trick.
In the style of My First Pet books, authors Maggie Miller and Michael Leviton wrote a story about caring for your very first ghost, singing about a friend “you can’t see or touch.” Along with colorful retro video of kids hanging with their invisible friend, the song declares: “Buy the book with the ghost inside, and your house will be officially haunted.”
Whether you’re more a Casper girl or a fan of Nearly Headless Nick, this musical trailer for the story is sure to get stuck in your head, just in time for Halloween.

Continuing an enduring tradition of Halloween-themed TV movies, tonight Disney Channel premieres Girl vs. Monster, which chronicles the adventures of a girl named Skylar (Olivia Holt from Disney XD’s Kickin’ It) who learns that her parents are monster hunters.
The film has a veteran Disney Channel producer in its ranks: Sheri Singer, who has produced 15 TV movies for the cable network, including all four Halloweentown movies.
Singer notes that Girl vs. Monster shares a lot of traits with Halloweentown – much like Marnie, who discovers that she’s a witch in the 1998 movie, Skylar has a whole new world opened up to her when she takes on monster-hunting herself. And like pretty much all movies on the network, there’s a Disney lesson to be learned by the time the credits roll – in this case, it’s own up to your fears, know it’s okay to be afraid, and face your fears.
But Girl vs. Monster also has a few stamps of a new era. Most prominent of all is its incorporation of music. Skylar, along with best friend/crush Ryan (Luke Benward), are aspiring musicians. There are five original songs in the movie. READ FULL STORY »
