This story was so much fun and cute! I really love the artwork. Both my children loved this story so much that they asked me to read it to them again A different night. it is A book that any child will love and enjoy as well as the parents.
I would highly recommend this story and am planning on buying it for my nephews and sending one to them to Chicago.
I would also buy other books from this author who does such an amazing job at bringing this book to life and again love the artwork!

I am a true sucker for this little ghost. We adore the Halloween book so I was so excited for his Winter surprise. The story is a great example of spreading kindness and joy. The illustrations are stunning and I loved the addition of focus on the colors and twinkling of the Holidays. I highly recommend adding this to your Holiday library!

More cute little ghosty ghost fun! It gives a lot of Nightmare Before Christmas vibes. Your friends with kids who love that movie will enjoy reading this book to their kids.

Thank you to Riel Nason and Tundra Book Group for the opportunity to preview The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise. This is another cute and cozy tale of the ghost who was a quilt.

This series encourages the reader/listener’s imagination and their empathy for everyday objects. Nason’s fanciful world of ghosts probes the unique advantages of being different and curious. Byron Eggenschwiler’s illustrations are immersive and heartbreakingly cute. In the Winter Surprise, the Little Ghost Quilt learns more about the world outside and shares warm celebrations with loved ones.

I recommend this book to anyone with kiddos who like detailed illustrations and things that are a touch spooky (and cozy). I’ll be gifting it this Christmas.

I absolutely love Little Ghost Quilt and all of the stories in which he is the star. I think these cozy stories not only make ghosts a comfort creature to children but also tie-in a typically "scary" creature to several different seasons which allows for continuity in students' minds.

This was a really cute book. As a teacher, I love that it used some more complex vocabulary. This allows the students to expand their vocabulary. There are many different ways this book can be used in the classroom. It has ghosts, but is based at Christmas time, so it would be cute to use anytime in November and December. The pictures were fantastic and really enhanced the understanding of the story. In some instances, you can even use it to prove that the pictures can tell MORE. For example, the tree broke many items in the house when the ghost dragged it in. Great piece of literature for children!

Beautiful, cozy, and a little spoooky. I love the kid-friendly parallels of diversity and sharing joy where you find it.

Thank you to Netgalley and Tundra Book Group for the e-arc of this gorgeous picture book!

Judging by the title and cover art alone I knew I needed to request this little book and I’m so glad I did! It’s a beautiful, kind story of friendship and inclusion that would make anyone smile. The illustrations were impeccably done and I love the Christmas setting along with the ghosts that makes it perfect for fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas

Go out and buy this book when it comes out, read it and display it around your home. The compliments will be never ending

Oh, I am SO glad that the little ghost has gotten a second book! The first book has quickly become one of my absolute favorite children's books ever, and this one was added to that list immediately after finishing it as well. I love the soft, wintery vibes of this book - this would be a lovely book to add to a child's winter book collection. Once again, the illustrations have knocked it out of the park, and the underlying lesson in the story is beautifully written for children to appreciate. Love, love love!

This book is adorable. It’s about a ghost who instead of being a sheet is a quilt. It makes him move slower, makes them heavier, but it also makes them much cozier to the little girl that picks them up. There’s another book in this series and I’m looking forward to it. And the artwork while not completely black and white uses color sparingly so that way our quilt stands out. This book was a top read from first page to last.

I really enjoyed the first book and I really wanted to like this one. I didn't like the flow and the ending seemed rushed.

The art of this book is so pretty. I loved the art style and the storyline. I fell in love with the Little Ghost's personality.

This is an adorable story of a little ghost who wants to include his friends in a Christmas celebration. The illustrations are delightful, perfect for a children's book about what is can be a scary subject, ghosts. These ghosts are adorable and fun, cute and friendly. I read this to my grandchildren ages six and three and they loved it. Had so much fun looking for the little ghost in all the illustrations. Highly recommended, especially as a Christmas story. 5 stars.

Many thanks to Net Galley and Tundra Book Group | Tundra Books for a chance to read an ARC version of this book.

This feels like a wholesome version of Nightmare Before Christmas. No scary things or ruining christmas, just warmth and coziness from a ghost. Absolutely adore this series.

An absolute delight. We were thrilled to see another book featuring this lovable little ghost and the second in the series did not disappoint. This is a particularly good gift for the winter holidays if you have a young reader who, like mine, likes a dose of spooky. Lovely, engaging illustrations and a storyline with just the right amount of message. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy. All opinions are entirely my own.

Such a sweet little book! It is a perfectly cozy ghost story, which resonates so well with my youngest child. He loves Halloween and friendly ghosts, and we are reading every book about The Little Ghost.
