While following Boo Bear on his journey, Russell (author of The Last Storyteller) highlights different words to represent each letter of the alphabet: the letter “I” is used for “injured” when Jack explains his hurt wing to Boo, while “R” refers to “rescue,” which is exactly what Boo and his mama do. That makes for some fun learning, and Russell even pulls out prepositions and verbs, using “O” in “on” and “V” for “vamoose,” resulting in a fun, engaging tale that younger readers will relish following along with, even after they’ve mastered their letters.
Jessica Robin Harkey’s expressive illustrations will immerse readers in Boo Bear’s imaginary world. Immense in size—and colored an intriguing shade of blue—the bears all have bushy fur and kind eyes, while Jack the firefly wears glasses and sports large, drooping wings that gradually perk up when Boo’s family helps him. The forest is verdant and dense with trees, and small details like mushrooms growing on logs make the world feel fully realized. Because young children learn best through play, this educational book’s entertaining format allows an ABC journey while also enjoying a sweet story of friendship and compassion.
Takeaway: ABC book follows a bear helping his firefly friend find his way home.
