BOOM BOOM Go Away! by Laura Geringer

Geringer, Laura. Ibatoulline, Bagram. BOOM BOOM Go Away! 36 pgs. Simon and Schuster, 2010. $15.99. Language –G; Sexual Content –G; Violence –G. In an effort to avoid bedtime, a little boy drums up a noisy and original way of telling his parents to keep out of his room when they tell him that it’s time to go to bed. Different musical instruments and sounds are explored as he attempts to tell his parents to “Go Away” and leave him to play. The illustrations are beautiful and the repetitive nature of the book would make it a fun read-a-loud in classrooms or at bedtime. This book could be used in any unit for music. EL-OPTIONAL.
