Boo Who? by Ben Clanton. BOARD BOOK. Candlewick Press, 2017. $8. 9780763699673
BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ESSENTIAL.
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Boo is a ghost who is new to school. The others are nice to him but it is hard to be included when you can’t catch a ball, pick things up or be tagged. But hide-and-go-seek, it turns out, is perfect for a ghost and his new friends.
This book probably isn’t a book you want to read over and over again, but it has such a great lesson about being different and finding a place in a group, that I think it is a valuable addition to a collection. The illustrations are simplistic but cute with dialogue and text combined.
