Is It Christmas Again? Said Little Ghost Laban

By Inger and Lasse Sandberg

Little Ghost Laban is a ghost who’s afraid of the dark. His scary, but kind, father has high hopes for his son, but Laban is more interested in helping out around the castle than learning the spooky business of ghosts. His sister Labolina is feisty, full of fun and with a very strong voice that keeps them all awake at night. In this Christmas story, Little Ghost Laban and his friends are making surprise Christmas gifts for their parents! Labolina goes secretly to a mysterious person to get help, while Laban seeks assistance from Invisible Wrolf to create the best gift ever. The season becomes even more magical for the night before Christmas is the only night during the whole year when all the paintings come to life in the castle. What a playful and wonderful Christmas night! This magical book is perfect for reading aloud with small children during the festive season.
