Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans by John Loren - HIGH

Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans by John Loren. PICTURE BOOK. Harper, JULY 2021. $18. 9780062941169 


BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Hugo is sick and tired of being the youngest – not allowed on the rides, getting the smallest ice cream cone. With his inventing mind he concocts a potion to make himself the biggest of them all. But he’s fast on his way to becoming a bully. Can anyone stop him? 

With book #2 Loren is carving a niche as a slightly creepy, but ultimately cute, PB author/illustrator. This time the palette is green and a bit queasy. And fun!
