Review:
Pikachu invites Eevee and Dedenne over for a sleepover. Eevee scares Dedenne into thinking ghosts are around, but thankfully the creepy thing outside the window turns out to just be Mimikyu. Mimikyu wants to go to the top of Dark Sky Mountain but is too scared to go alone, so the whole group goes together, experiencing a few frights along the way that turn out to just be other Pokemon.
I was charmed by Matsuo's first Pokemon picture book, so when I saw Gengar on the cover of this one, I knew I needed to read it too. This time around, readers are presented with multiple nighttime scenes, first too dark to see anything but ordinary rocks and plants and then lit up to reveal the Pokemon hiding everywhere.
I think I liked the first book a little more, or maybe it's just the "ooh, cute Pokemon picture book" shine starting to wear off. Still, this was a nice little picture book with several Pokemon in it that I like (although, sadly, no Haunter).
I either haven't previously seen Gengar animations or didn't watch them closely enough to realize that it can, weirdly, somehow blink what I thought was its pupils. I initially thought that was a bizarre mistake on Matsuo's part only to discover that it's actually an official thing, and that I'm far from the first person to be confused about Gengar's eyes.
