Choose-your-own-adventure type of books are not new, but a picture book that offers the same sort of interactive thrill is. Where the Bugaboo Lives gives little readers the chance to direct what happens to the two sibling protagonists Floyd and Ruby as they bravely navigate their way through a dark valley purportedly full of scary things, in particular the terrible Bugaboo — and it’s a fabulously fun romp that kids will want to read over and over again to vicariously experience all the alternate possibilities (and monster encounters, of course)! The fun illustrations, unexpected twists in the various story threads and witty humour help to keep things fresh even on repeat reads, making this frightfully original picture book a must for Halloween season! 👻🕷😈 p.s.
