Jake the Penguin is trying to sleep, but there are strange sounds coming from somewhere in his room.  His dad comes in to try to find the ghost, but there is nothing there!  Van Genechten’s penguins are lovingly illustrated, and the dim night-time room’s atmosphere is spot-on, but this picture book doesn’t stand out from others with the same theme.  Originally written in Dutch, the translation for this version comes off as slightly awkward (for some reason, it is written in present tense), and the creaky noises are written as clumsy onomatopoeia, making it difficult to use as a read-aloud.  The story seems to be building up to something, but fizzles out at the end instead of popping.  Not bad, but there are other, more effective books about night-time fears.
