In the follow-up to Rex Wrecks It!, a shy little ghost is new to the group.
Praise for Rex Wrecks It!: "A delirious roar ... original, perfectly paced, animatedly drawn and wonderfully lacking in any sort of improving message. A blast" Observer
Boo is new. And even if the other kids are welcoming, it can be scary being new, especially for a shy ghost who cant play any of their games. (You tagged me Oh, sorry. I couldnt feel it.) Can Boo find a way to fit in and make friends with the rest of the group
From the creator of Rex Wrecks It! comes a funny story about feeling invisible and finding a way to be seen and appreciated for who you are.
Clantons artfully drawn characters portray the sensitive and empathetic way the friends treat the newcomer. Their changes of expression speak volumes about their feelings, as do those of Boo and his uncertainty about being accepted by the others, about fitting in and discovering his own strength. Share and discuss with early years listeners. * Red Reading Hub *
This is a fabulous story of friendships and celebrating differences. The simple, bold images contribute to the sense of emotion, helping children understand how the characters might be feeling. A very relatable story for many children. * childcareexpo.co.uk *
