Boo! / ¡Bu!

Leslie Patricelli's 'Boo! / ¡Bu!' offers a charming and gentle introduction to Halloween for young children, presented in a Spanish-English bilingual format. The story follows Baby as they get ready for the holiday, from helping Daddy carve a pumpkin with various expressions to choosing the perfect costume. The narrative tenderly addresses the 'slightly scary' aspect of Halloween night, showing Baby's initial apprehension quickly turning into joy and excitement as their pumpkin fills with treats. It's an ideal board book for first-time trick-or-treaters, normalizing the range of emotions a child might feel about the holiday while celebrating family fun.

It s almost Halloween! How should Daddy carve the pumpkin? So many expressions to choose from! What should Baby be a princess or pirate, ballerina or clown? When the jack-o -lantern s ready (looking suspiciously like Baby), it s time for a little ghost to head out in the slightly scary night. But fear turns to excitement as the pumpkin fills up with treats. WOW!
