As children follow Baby Boo's story, they discover how to problem-solve and how they can solve any problem, big or small, with a little motivation and critical thinking. Young readers also learn the value of family ties and a strong support system.
For parents, this book is a great teaching tool. Its colorful illustrations will quickly engage readers, while the playful plot and rhymes make the book a lesson in language and wordplay.
