Story Time with Children’s Author Jean Reagan

Our weekly Story Time event, but better! Jean Reagan will share books from her best selling How To Series (How to Babysit a Grandma, How to Babysit a Grandpa, How to Catch a Santa, How to Surprise a Dad, etc.) and present her most recent release, How to Scare a Ghost.

In How to Scare a Ghost, Guided by a tongue-in-cheek instructional style, two children show young readers how to set the stage for a spooktacular Halloween by carving pumpkins, playing games, and even reading scary stories. Has a ghost showed up? Great! Now the fun–er, the scaring–can really begin. Filled with charming role-reversal humor, creative ideas, and lots of holiday spirit, How to Scare a Ghost is sure to delight kids, parents, and things that go bump in the night.
