Review

A great coming-of-age picture board book for young children. Little Boo is a pumpkin seed that is trying to scare those around him, but to no avail. The wise wind periodically tells him to be patient that in time he will be able to be scary. The book shows how with time and seasons that Little Boo eventually becomes the Jack 'O Lantern that will scare just in time for Halloween.

The illustrations are beautifully done with impressive coloring that fits the theme of the book. Very sturdy and durable and would be a great addition to Halloween collections. Recommended age groups would be PreK to possibly 2nd grade.

Overall Book Score: excellent
