Author Barry King aims to foster that early love of reading with his new publication, The Lost Glasses, the first book in The Ghost Nation Series.

This original story introduces children aged 1 to 5 to the adventures of Spog, a friendly ghost, and his family. Both the words and pictures in the book are designed to appeal to pre-school children, offering a gentle, entertaining, and relatable story for young audiences.
Early reading is more than just a pastime: it is a critical tool in child development. Research from Ohio State University shows that children who are read to daily hear millions more words before entering school than children without regular reading exposure. These early experiences directly influence vocabulary development, language comprehension, and school readiness, setting the foundation for lifelong literacy.
Barry King believes that The Lost Glasses provides opportunities to spark curiosity, nurture listening skills, and encourage participation as children ask questions, predict outcomes, and relate the story to their own experiences.
In The Lost Glasses, Spog’s father, Pappy G, misplaces his glasses, prompting a humorous search that has him turning the house upside down while Spog watches. With wit and observation, Spog ultimately discovers the glasses are sitting right on Pappy G’s head. This playful tale captures children’s imagination while demonstrating observation, problem-solving, and storytelling skills in a format suitable for reading aloud or for early independent readers.
The timing of the book launch is further intended to put young children at ease during the “spooky season”. The friendly and approachable characters in The Lost Glasses make seasonal storytelling approachable without fear, making it particularly well-suited for fall reading sessions with families, classrooms, or storytime groups in the run-up to Halloween.
By combining humor, relatable scenarios, and charming illustrations, Barry King’s book encourages children to see reading as an enjoyable and interactive activity rather than a task.
The Lost Glasses is now available for purchase online and at select retailers. Future installments of The Ghost Nation Series will continue to engage young readers while developing literacy and critical thinking skills with Spog’s ever-evolving adventures.
