Here is a YouTube read-along:
This is a "Jack" story, but this time Jack is a ghost. It starts off with the traditional short two-beat lines, and stays with the short lines until the end
This is the goblin
that frightens the bat
that startles the cat
that flies with the witch
that rides broom
that crosses the moon
that shines on the house that Jack haunted...
but then Jack scares them all: BOO!
I'm not a huge fan of this book (Charles Reasoner's wonderful talents seem wasted here), but it is a good example of a "Jack" story told with all short lines, and having Jack just say "BOO" to end it all does give the story an ending (finding an ending to a cumulative tale is not always easy!).
