The author of this book is the head counselor of my school!
5 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
I requested to read it to see his work. Its a very cute story indeed. I loved it and im 14. My drama teacher said that she got a pre- copy before it was printed and it had no pictures and her children hate story books with no pictures. but she said it was so good, her children didnt care that it had no pictures, they just loved the story. i recomend reading it to your young children. They'll love it. i can tell.

Good for parent and child
1 Nov 2002
Format:Hardcover
This children's book is a delight and should be shared with parent to child of any cultural background as it evolks the unique community of Japanese American truck farmers in the early years of the 20th century, as well as a father's sense of fun and adventure with his son.
I especially liked Terasaki's matter-of-fact descriptions of the Japanese American farm life as he tells his story, from the food that they eat and grow, to the subtle language and word usage that is uniquely Japanese American. But persons of any cultural background will appreciate the father's quest with his son to discover the 'ghosts' in Farmer Tanaka's field. Anyone who may have played hide and seek at night or flashlight tag as a child, will remember the sense of adventure and spookiness of playing in the dark. The father and sons search for the "ghost" brought that to mind to me. Except that this son had his father to explore, guide, protect and even laugh with him in this quest. Any father would do well to read this book with his young son.
Shijo's illustrations are a delight and make the story fun and alive.

Tasty treat
16 Oct 2002
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ghosts for Breakfast is perfect for Halloween, or any time of year! It has all the elements young children, and the young at heart, love: beautiful illustrations that support the clearly told story, humor, and gentle fright/suspense. A winner for first time author Stanley Todd Terasaki and illustrator Shelly Shinjo.
