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.

This book was absolutely adorable! I loved this cozy and sweet story about a little ghost who dreams of including their friends in all their adventures.

The language is simple yet captivating—perfect for a younger audience. And the illustrations? They’re absolutely stunning and bring the story to life in the most delightful way.

Overall, this is a charming and unique children’s book, ideal for the spooky autumn season or even the cold, dark days of winter.

A sweet story about a curious ghost who is completely awestricken by Christmas. This is a cute story about friendship and curiosity. I loved how the ghost wanted to figure out how his other ghost friends could be apart of the cold winter. The illustrations were very well done and helped progress the story.

Little Ghost who is a quilt is a sweet new series. This one has a holiday theme as the ghost's friends don't like playing outside because the ghost who is a quilt is obviously much warmer than her friend's that only have sheets and can't be outside for very long. So when ghost flies around to a neighborhood all decorated for the Christmas holiday season, ghost decides to bring that back to her friends at their haunted house.

The coloring and illustration especially our quilted ghost are lovely. The text is adequate but it's really the visuals and warmth of ghost and her ghosts friends that make a cozy book in the readalike vein of [book:The Skull|60539545].

I read The Little Ghost that was a Quilt last year and absolutely loved it! So when I saw that this was up for review, I just had to read it! This book is so charming, and we get to see more of Little Ghost Quilt and his friends. The art is so beautiful, and the story is simple, without feeling like it might be talking down to children. Seeing all the ghosts celebrate Christmas was both creepy and cute! I recommend this for if you're looking for a good fun read or if you have littles!

Thank you to Netgalley and Tundra Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I previously read The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt just for fun! One of my biggest joys in life is no one can tell me (yet :( ) what I can and cannot read, especially kid's books. This second edition to the Little Ghost Quilt is a winter holiday story. I adore how Eggenschwiler's art style complemented the creepy cute vibes Ghost Quilt brought. I do appreciate how in the first book Ghost Quilt felt left out and now refuses to allow his fellow ghost friends to feel left out because their sheets are too thin to withstand the winter weather. This was a heartwarming story that bounces off of the first book and can show the impact of coming together and working to find innovative ways to make sure everyone feels included. Thanks to NetGalley and Tundra Book Group for sharing this exciting work with me in eARC form.

This book’s greatest strength lies in its beautiful illustrations. The lovely pencil and digital spreads give texture and scale to the winter landscapes and make very nice use of color, especially the cool tones of Little Ghost Quilt himself standing out blue amidst the white. The pages also have masterful composition, frequently making Little Ghost Quilt a tiny figure in the midst of the lonely winter or placing charming Addams-esque details in his haunted house home.

The story follows the two common picture book plots, the nonhuman being who is lonely from being slightly different than its fellows, and the nonhuman being who discovers Christmas. However, in both cases the initial premises are given slight twists from the usual mode, keeping the narrative fresh. Little Ghost Quilt is accepted by his fellows, they just can’t join him in his winter expedition, and Little Ghost Quilt never actually consults humans to find the meaning of the Christmas he has observed.

Cliché avoidance notwithstanding, the plot here is somewhat linear and predictable, even for a picture book. However, that could be seen as a strength in giving it a very cozy feel for Christmas reading.

A book that’s a bit simple but very lovely-- I look forward to seeing if Little Ghost Quilt will have further adventures.

Cute little book of ghost on Halloween. Illustrations are full page, cute but not really my style - would be for others.
