This die-cut book is a simple but effective use of die cut shapes on paper revealing things behind to tell a story. It was published in 1974 and I think it still holds up today.
The story is about a child who sees ghosts everywhere. The child is constantly wary and scared of the things they see, but when looking closer (by turning the page) it’s revealed it’s not scary at all but just mundane objects they’re seeing ghostly shapes in. I think this is a great little story about helping children overcome their fears with rationale explanations. It’s simple, colourful and makes use of effective paper mechanics.
