WHO SAID BOO? Precious for the child in YOU and your child!

I think people "miss the boat" when they speak of BORING poems.This book is a FEAST for the eye! The watercolors busy? Then so are those of some of our most wonderful painters. Grandma Moses, and Wysocki included. They are CHERISHED by our children.I purchased the book when they were 2 and 5 and now in their teens...they STILL get it out on Halloween and read it!I think "Momma Said Boo!" is silly and farce...and WONDERFUL.I teach kindergarten and my class BEGGED for this book OVER and OVER!I highly recommend it! Besides, what is SILLY and BORING to YOU is not always to the 5-year-old! Is it? Who are you trying to please here, anyway? Our favorite Halloween book for the young around here!Trisha

Halloween fun for home and elementary school

Who Said Boo offers young readers a fun introduction to poetry which draws children in because the theme is Halloween- a child's favorite holiday. Included are examples of alliteration, appropriate repetition, rhyme and great rhythm. The poems include themes such as going to a Halloween party, watching shadows on the walls, carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and dressing up. The illustrations are colorful, very detailed, and extremely engaging for both children and adults alike. This book has been a favorite of my children and students year after year. It's a must for home and school libraries!
