Got as a galley at #TxLA17...read to my 6 y/o son and he laughed and laughed! Love the rhyming! (

Billy Bloo does not heed the warning and he gets stuck in the goo. After many attempts made by his friends, to free him they all get stuck. What will happen next?
The author and illustrator combine rhyming text with fun colorful illustrations to create a great read aloud for 3-5 year olds. The story I continued in the illustrations making it easy to talk about what else is going on. The humor keeps both child and adult engaged. The rhyming words foster phonological awareness. (

Fun story that will make a great read aloud with great sound effects and fun dialects, children will be laughing at this story while coming up with ideas on “what would you do?”. I cannot wait to read this to my storytime children. Illustrations are great! (

Book description

Billy Bloo is stuck in goo.
Who will help him, tell me who?
Who'll unstick him from this goo?
Would you?

With madcap mania,
a troupe of merry volunteers
attempt to rescue poor Billy Bloo,
only to find themselves stuck in goo too!
Oh, what to do?

This spry, slapstick comedy of errors
will have you rolling with laughter
(but hopefully not into any goo!).
