Gustavo, the Shy Ghost

$ 18.00

Gustavo, the Shy Ghost offers a fresh and gentle approach to making new friends in this debut story written and illustrated by Flavia Z. Drago. Gustavo, the shy and charming matching plush ghost is sure to levitate any storytime. Soft white plush, with bold details and a hand-puppet feature, makes Gustavo a perfect friend to have. 

Gustavo is good at doing all sorts of ghostly things: walking through walls, making objects fly, and glowing in the dark. And he loves almost nothing more than playing beautiful music on his violin. But Gustavo is shy, and some things are harder for him to do, like getting in a line to buy eye scream or making friends with other monsters. Whenever he tries getting close to them, he realizes they just can’t see him. Now that the Day of the Dead is fast approaching, what can he do to make them notice him and share with them something he loves? With fancifully detailed artwork and visual humor, debut picture book creator Flavia Z. Drago’s vivid illustrations tell a sweet and gently offbeat story of loneliness, bravery, and friendship that is sure to be a treat for little ghouls and goblins everywhere.

Why no arms, Gustavo?

This plushie, and I say plushie not puppet, is cute. It looks just like Gustavo from the book. However, it doesn’t really work as a puppet. It’s sort of shaped like a glorified oven mitt. It’s fluffy and thick on one side with a double layered cloth on the other, with room for a hand inbetween the pillow and cloth. However, there’s no arms to move, so you essentially you can wave it around but not really use it as a proper puppet. If you have a small head you might be able to use it as a hat. It is nice that it can be turned inside-out for easy cleaning.

Adorable, Good quality

My daughter loves her Gustavo hand puppet. It’s high quality and looks thick enough to be a real stuffed animal shape as well as a puppet. Nice embroidery and detail. Great toy.
