Out 7/29: Vicky Fang's Boo Crew #2 (PB)
Plus cover reveals, new book deals, and events across the country
Congrats to Vicky Fang and Saoirse Lou on the release of their second book in the Boo Crew series. Here’s a bit about the book:
Fall is here! A fest is planned at Ruby's farm and pumpkin stand.
Guess who's come to lend a hand? It's the Boo Crew!
In this delightful interactive picture book story, kids can save the day at a pumpkin patch! It's the first day of a fall festival at Ruby's farm, but she and her friends aren't ready yet! Luckily the spooky-cute crew of Luna, Bones, and Fang are nearby to help, and so are this book's readers! Following action prompts throughout the story, kids can press apples on the page to make cider, tilt the book to clear autumn leaves, and do so much more! This seasonal read-aloud is perfect for young ones who want to get in on the fall fun!
There's a Halloween book too! Don't miss The Boo Crew Needs YOU!
