Gus and the Baby Ghost is a children's book by Jane Thayer, illustrated by Seymour Fleishman, about Gus, a friendly ghost who works at a Historical Museum with Mr. Frizzle and Cora the cat. When Cora finds a baby ghost outside, Gus takes it in, using a special book to care for it, much to the dismay of the cranky Mr. Frizzle, who wants it gone. The story follows Gus's efforts to care for the baby ghost, which ultimately leads to the baby becoming a popular attraction at the museum.
