Too cute! This book is PERFECT for a certain rootbeer obsessed kiddo i know! A bit simple but perfect for preschoolers.

This is such a cute and unique little book! I love how the author centered it around science and included the experiment at the end. The illustrations are well done and really cute!

A cute little story with a child's imagination of what they make up in their mind. Short and easy for a younger reader to read without losing interest. A bonus fun science experiment to explain one of the many wonders a child would see.
I got this for my grandchild to read during the summer. It didn't overwhelm them and really liked the science experiment.
Received a Reader's copy thru Netgalley from Dog Ear Publishing and am giving my honest review

A cute and entertaining story. I liked the fact that they tried to include a bit of science at the end but to be honest it was a little slapdash for me. They could have explained the experiment and why it happens that way.

I thought this story was really cute and I can see it being a favourite! My daughter loved the story and found it very funny. I liked the way that they have introduced a bit of science for little ones too and I felt that the book gets the idea across very well. 4 stars from me for this one.

We all to often go through life accepting everyday things without really knowing what is causing or behind them. To try to get a child questioning and be curious is behind this quirky and delightful story of "There’s a Ghost in My Root Beer!" which seeks to answer the question of what causes the fizzing in the drink.

With clear graphics and easy to understand text we learn how the fizzing is not the result of a ghost in the drink but instead the result of carbonation. It may be a short book but during this the child will be both entertained and perhaps more importantly gain some knowledge that I suspect many adults do not possess.

A neat little book with a fun take on carbonation in soda. Young children may wonder what kind of magic makes the world work and this story quickly and efficiently explains how Co2 presents itself in drinks like root beer. The story is perhaps a bit too quick and snappy, it could have taken a more expressionistic turn, but that is OK. Really, this would work well for a science-based story time, or an introductory education tool. I was not particularly engaged by the artwork, but it works just fine. I appreciated the science experiment provided at the back of the book.

I'm reminded of one of my best friends who is in the medical field and who has a young nephew. He has bought similar books about science for kids in the past as presents, so this may fit right in.

I thought this story was really cute. My son loved reading it. Very funny to both of us. Might be a little difficult for little ones to wrap the idea of carbonation around in their heads but this book gets the idea across very well.

This is an odd little book, with a child that thinks that a ghost is making bubbles in his rootbeer, and spends almost the entire book speculating on that one fact.

The text is not entertaining, and repeating the idea of the ghost over and over again is not the most entertaining of stories.

The slight saving grace is the scientific explanation about carbonation at the ending.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This book has potential, but it also has a few issues.

My e-book copy has really wonky formatting. It took a few moments for me to realize that the text was one page ahead of the illustrations. (I don't know if that will have been fixed in the final copy, as I read an ARC.)

Also, the book is written in rhyming text, but unlike most books in rhyme, the verses aren't set off by line breaks. So everything on each page is just mushed into one paragraph. The verse seems a bit clunky, but it may have helped if I'd known where to take a pause.

The illustrations are cute, and show the results of the boy's imagination quite well. Although I'm not sure if any child would really think there's a ghost in their root beer (imagination's great, but a ghost in a beverage just seems... odd), the premise sort of works for this story.

There's a simple experiment at the end that kids can do with the help of adults. I can foresee things getting sticky, though.

Overall, this isn't bad, but the layout could use some work, and for a book that purportedly explains carbonation, it could've used a few more facts (such as how the carbon dioxide gets into the liquid to make a carbonated drink).

This is a clever children's book about a young boy who believes the fizzing inside his root beer must be the result of a ghost. But as his mom later teaches him, the fizzing is actually the result of carbonation.

The illustrations are well-done and the science concept is presented in a straight-forward, kid-friendly way. This definitely isn't meant to be a bedtime story, though, as the last few pages provide children and their parents with a carbonation science experiment to try.

There's a Ghost in My Root Beer! provides parents with a good opportunity to debunk one of the fanciful ways that kids try to explain the unknown. At the same time, the mother in the story encourages her son to learn and to also allow his imagination to remain free.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a copy of the book. This review contains my honest, unbiased opinion.

This was a cute, short book with an educational ending. Initially I was a disappointed by the length, but the shorter story makes it a good pick for younger readers and children who struggle sitting still for longer books. The experiment at the end is hands-on, making it a great introduction to science for those little hands.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dog Ear Publishing for providing me with an ARC.
