Geisterstunde im Kindergarten
Ulrich Karger
- Reading
- Read together when there is time to pause at the spooky parts. Let your child decide whether to talk about what feels scary, and discuss which comfort ideas work for them.
- Themes
- Fear of the dark and ways of coping: Mary shares a star-imagining trick, and the children ultimately keep the hallway light on. The story presents more than one response to feeling afraid, but the details do not establish whether it treats one as preferable.
- Worth knowing
- Fear grows as night approaches, and the children take part in a dance involving ghosts, monsters and vampires during their Halloween activities. Consider whether that spooky imagery might feel unsettling to your child.
