Once upon a Halloween night, there was a friendly ghost named Boo. Boo loved seeing carved pumpkins, going trick-or-treating, and having fun with friends in the streets. But there was one thing Boo didn’t like at all—he was afraid of the dark! Boo thought it was strange for a ghost to be scared, so he decided to ask his friends for help.
First, Boo went to see a witch who was busy making a magic potion. The witch told Boo that she loved working at night when everyone else was asleep. She said, “The dark is our friend. Don’t be scared of the night; make spells with me until it gets light.”
Next, Boo visited Frank, who was happily dancing. Frank explained that he couldn’t dance during the day because people would laugh, but at night, he could dance all he wanted. “The dark is our friend. Don’t be scared of the night; dance here with me until it gets light,” Frank said.
Then, Boo went to see Dracula, who was flying through the air. Dracula told Boo that he couldn’t fly during the day, but at night, he could turn into a bat and soar. “The dark is our friend. Don’t be scared of the night; come fly with me until it gets light,” Dracula said.
Boo also met a werewolf who loved the dark. The werewolf said he couldn’t howl during the day and liked to stand under the moonlight. “The dark is our friend. Don’t be scared of the night; howl with me until it gets light,” the werewolf said.
Finally, Boo visited Mummy, who was wrapped in bandages. Mummy explained that walking during the day was tricky because of his bandages. “The dark is our friend. Don’t be scared of the night; dress up with me until it gets light,” Mummy said.
Feeling happy and brave, Boo floated home with a big smile. He realized that the dark could be fun and decided to throw a party to thank his friends. Boo spent the whole day getting ready, planning lots of surprises.
When his friends arrived—Mummy, Dracula, the werewolf, and Frank—Boo invited them to stay up late. They had a spooky time with cobwebs, candy, and pumpkins. They made potions, learned to fly, and danced under the stars.
As the night went on, Boo began to glow, creating a magical sight. The music was loud and fun, and Boo felt special. Being brave was hard, but Boo tried and found out he could shine.
When the party ended, Boo yawned and got ready for bed, realizing that the dark was wonderful. “The dark is the best; I love the night. Now let’s snuggle up because here comes the light,” Boo said happily.
Shadow Play: Find a flashlight and a blank wall or a large piece of paper. With the help of an adult, turn off the lights and use the flashlight to create shadows with your hands or toys. Try making different shapes and animals. Can you make a ghost like Boo? Talk about how the shadows change when you move the light closer or farther away.
Nighttime Adventure: With a parent or guardian, take a short walk outside at night. Look at the stars, listen to the sounds, and notice how things look different in the dark. What do you see or hear that you don’t notice during the day? Share your favorite part of the nighttime adventure with your family.
Draw Your Nighttime Friend: Imagine you have a special friend who only comes out at night, just like Boo’s friends. Draw a picture of your nighttime friend and write a short story about what fun things you do together in the dark. Share your drawing and story with your classmates or family.

Once upon a Halloween, there was a ghost named Boo. He loved carved pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and having fun parading in the streets. However, Boo was afraid of the dark. Frustrated, he exclaimed that it wasn’t right for a good ghost to be scared. He decided to seek help from his friends.
First, Boo visited a witch who was stirring a spell. She told him that she preferred working at night when people were sleeping, saying, “The dark is our friend. Don’t fear the night; make spells with me until it gets light.”
Next, Boo went to see Frank, who was dancing joyfully. Frank explained that he couldn’t dance during the day because people would giggle, but at night, he could really enjoy himself. “The dark is our friend. Don’t fear the night; dance here with me until it gets light.”
Boo then visited Dracula, who was soaring through the air. Dracula shared that he couldn’t fly during the day, as it wasn’t fun, but at night, he transformed into a bat. “The dark is our friend. Don’t fear the night; come fly with me until it gets light.”
Boo met a werewolf who was also unafraid of the dark. The werewolf said he couldn’t howl during the day and preferred to stand in the glow of the moon. “The dark is our friend. Don’t fear the night; shout out with me until it gets light.”
Finally, Boo saw Mummy, who was all wrapped up. Mummy explained that walking during the day was difficult with his bandages trailing. “The dark is our friend. Don’t fear the night; dress up with me until it gets light.”
Feeling happy, Boo floated home with a smile. He realized that the dark could be fun and decided to throw a party to thank his friends. He prepared all day, hiding tricks up his sleeve.
When his friends arrived—Mummy, Dracula, the werewolf, and Frank—Boo excitedly invited them to stay up late. They had a spooky time with cobwebs, candy, and pumpkins. They made potions, learned to fly, and danced under the stars.
As the night went on, Boo started to glow, creating a magical sight. The rhythm was fun, and the music was loud, allowing Boo to stand out from the crowd. Being brave was challenging, but Boo gave it a try and discovered he could shine.
As the party came to a close, Boo yawned and got ready to sleep, realizing that the dark was wonderful. “The dark is the best; I love the night. Now let’s snuggle up because here comes the light.”
