As the series name, A Little Bit Spooky (6 titles), suggests, its volumes impart just enough, age-appropriate spookiness to intrigue children. In short chapters, double-page spreads comprise a few sentences of simple text that introduce a paranormal creature or phenomenon, strange encounters with it, and how some scientists study and explain what's actually going on in nature. More-difficult vocabulary is defined on the page and in a glossary. The plethora of graphics, including digitally created images with dark backgrounds and luminous colors, infographics, diagrams, maps, and fact boxes, are the real enticement, however. Haunted Places focuses on famous ghost sightings, such as at the White House and Alcatraz, and how ghost hunters look for answers. Each book concludes with a full page of "Bonus Facts" featuring a large, culminating image surrounded by fun, related facts. Just the right amount of mystery for young, imaginative readers.
