There’s a Ghost in My Root Beer!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
