The Little Ghost Who Lost Her Boo! by Elaine Bicknell and Raymond McGrath - ADVISABLE

The Little Ghost Who Lost Her Boo! by Elaine Bicknell, illustrated by Raymond McGrath. PICTURE BOOK. Philomel (Penguin), 2020. $18. 9780593202159


BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE


AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE


The little ghost is wandering through the forest on the search for her boo, which has gone missing. While she might not find a book, perhaps a whoo, coo, or moo would work?


Very adorable illustrations, but the rhyming text has a variety of syllabic differences and in one place the line is split between two pages.  A cute idea, but more for someone to read on their own -- as read it aloud is a little awkward.
