The poems are gathered by Mother Boo, the oldest ghost in town, who reads them aloud to the local witches, ghosts, and goblins when it is time to settle in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by Mother Goose, the rhymes run from silly to spine-tingling: the secret to flying, a pumpkin parade, a dance with werewolves, and a cast of skeletons, pumpkin heads, vampires, and friendly monsters. VanSickle keeps things playful rather than scary, which makes it a good read-aloud for the weeks when a short poem suits bedtime better than a full story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustrations are by Jennica Lounsbury, who came to picture books from animation and works out of Hamilton. VanSickle writes from Toronto, so this is a local pick as much as a seasonal one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eAges 4–8\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tundra Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665798717487,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/MotherBoo.jpg?v=1785266533","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/mother-boo-poems-from-spookytown","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
