In "Bo's Boos & Poos Reviews," readers of all ages will experience the growth of Bo as he meets the challenges of real and imagined life. The excitement of change from home to school, community and beyond, and the joy of friendship and mystery of neighbors are all fertile ground in a series of progressive short books (boos) and poems (poos).
