Customer Reviews

What a great book!

Say Boo introduces us to sweet ghost Ben, who doesn't want anyone to know he can't say "boo." Going off on a quest to practice his booing, he says "Moo" and "Whoo" and "Coo," but it isn't till he breaks down in tears that he manages to solve his problem. I love the friendly illustrations and Ben's gentle personality. When I saw this book, I couldn't wait to read it to my 2 1/2-year-old son, and when I read it to him he had me read it three times in a row. My only complaints: it's REALLY hard to tear out the stickers without damaging the book, and it seems a bit unlikely that no one has noticed that someone named Ben--someone who has a brother named Boris--has been unable to make B sounds for some time without anyone noticing. The latter issue is nothing to the book's charm, however, and I guess the former issue is just something to be careful about.
