A followup to Sandra Boynton's much enjoyed board book classic Moo, Baa, La La La! Little ones will enjoy the rhyming text, silly illustrations, and the opportunity to chant BOOO! A fun non-scary Halloween themed book to share with toddlers。 A followup to Sandra Boynton's much enjoyed board book classic Moo, Baa, La La La!

Baa, La La La (1982) tackles the Halloween holiday in this delightful board book from the master of all board books。 The cow sends a plaintive "boo" through the night air, only to be answered by a "baa"。 Curious about the origins of the sound, the cow utters it again, only to hear even more sounds in the night。 Climbing a hill festooned with jack o'lanterns, the cow once again sends forth the Halloween greeting, and is met by a chorus of animals returning the spooky salutation。 The chorus of pigs (one in a ghost costume) end with the rousing chorus of "la la la"。Boynton's drawings of farm animals are amusing and soothing in equal parts to me。 From Chocolate: The Consuming Passion (1982) to greeting cards and mugs when I was in college, to the board books I read to my children in the early 1990s, Boynton's work has unfailingly delighted me。 Not only are the illustrations somehow wry and satisfying, but the verse is always exquisitely done。 I'm very particular about poetry, and Boynton's lines are metrically sound, and utilize an exceptional range of vocabulary with solid rhymes。 Not only that, but they have a warm underlying philosophy to them as well。 I'm clearly behind on my Boynton reading, and must catch up。 There is a sequel to But Not the Hippopotamus called But Not the Armadillo, and if Woodland Dance is half as good as Barnyard Dance, I desperately need it in my life。 Perhaps I can't be objective about Boynton's work。 I will say that these books are ones that children will want to hear over and over again, but which will remain a delight to the adult who is compelled to do the reading。 This is perhaps the highest praise one can give to a book meant for very young children! 。。。more

A cute Halloween board book about the farm animals celebration。 There is one for every holiday I'm sure。 My kids knew many of her others by heart when younger。 A cute Halloween board book about the farm animals celebration。 There is one for every holiday I'm sure。 My kids knew many of her others by heart when younger。 。。。more

Our book today is Boo! Baa, La La La! by Sandra Boynton, a Halloween companion board book to Boynton’s classic Moo, Baa, La La La!On Halloween, the spotted cow from Moo, Baa, La La La! likes to mix things up。 Instead of saying “moo”, she likes to try a new word: “boo!”。 She calls her “boo” out into the night, only to be met with a “baa” from an unseen animal。 After another call and response that results in a bevy of animal noises, the cow goes off in search of the source of the mysterious sounds。 What she finds is a collection of barnyard friends to celebrate Halloween with。Cute but unsatisfying。 The simple narrative offers a strong beginning, even teasing an interactive element that is never fully explored, but then quickly sort of meanders to a puzzling and underwhelming conclusion。 It’s Boynton, so the text is bouncy and fun to read aloud of course, but the plot lacked the charm of other Boynton favorites, including the original (the delightful performing pigs, one of the best features of Moo, Baa, La La La! barely even make an appearance, being inserted as a cameo to offer the closing line)。 The illustrations are cute, the read is quick, and JJ did enjoy the beginning and the Halloween elements, so it is worth a look, especially for fans of Boynton。 But there are other Halloween board books out there that, frankly, do the format better。 Still, if you’re looking for a quick and easy, if slightly superficial, spooky season read, this will do。 Baby Bookworm approved。(Note: A copy of this book was provided to The Baby Bookworm by the publisher in exchange for an honest review。)Be sure to check out The Baby Bookworm for more reviews! 。。。more
