Book Reviews of Boo!

Book Review: perhaps the book for you
Summary: 5 Stars

If you feel uncomfortable overtly instructing your preschooler on how to be prejudice, yet you still want to instill in them a good dose of institutional racism, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

Firstly...you don't have to even mention that the main character is a minority. According to some research, your child will AUTOMATICALLY pick up the difference in ethnicity and begin to categorize him as different [...]. Young children love to learn and categorize and try to figure the world out. What are we like? What are they like? This book will help!

Next comes the magic of the book. The story has a minority doing many things that you tell your child are bad or wrong. Some examples include; A passed out father figure, hurting strangers, stealing all a stranger's Halloween candy, robbing other items from their homes, and scaring and not respecting a police officer. Congratulations! Because of institutional racism, you have been able to guess the ethnicity of the main character....and after reading the book, your child will be able to also!

Bingo... no direct instruction on your part necessary. What could be easier? Your preschooler will easily be guided and helped to come to their OWN conclusions about how people of a specific different ethnicity act.

If this sounds like your kind of book, write the author. Perhaps he can be convinced to write about least 3 other minority heroes so your child's education can be complete.

Summary of Boo!

Best- selling team Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko create another funny adventure about a boy named Lance, who finds an inventive way of getting more candy on Halloween.

Lance loves dressing up for Halloween. This year, instead of wearing a store-bought mask, he paints his face very, very scary. When Lance goes trick-or-treating, his scary face spooks his neighbors so much that they fall over--leaving him all their candy! Lance uses his horrid face to steal more candy than he can carry. But in the end, he he has so much candy that he decides to share with his neighbors.
