Boo Who? by Ben Clanton- ADVISABLE

Clanton, Ben. Boo Who?, PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick Press, 2017. $15.99. Boo is new. He is making new friends, but it’s kind of scary and hard, even when everyone is really nice. He starts to play games with his new friends and finds that because he’s a ghost, balls go straight through him, no one can feels it when he tags them, and picking up sticks doesn’t work either. He’s beginning to feel like he will never fit in when his friends start a game of hide and seek and can’t find him anywhere. He rules at the game and finds out he does belong. I love the pictures in this book. All of Boo’s friends are different and unique. I also like that the friends are all welcoming and kind (not always the case in picture books). A sweet addition for early childhood collections. PRE-K, EL (K-3)- ADVISABLE. Reviewed by Shay, School Librarian
