The Blurb On The Back:
Readers Beware!
Rumour has it, the BLUE BAGOO is a BIG, bothersome wild beast.
Follow the detective to discover the truth.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Karl Newson and Andrea Stegmaier’s utterly charming rhyming picture book warns about the danger of believing rumours by highlighting how the rumours get worse and worse the more they spread. Rhyming narration can be very forced and leave me underwhelmed but I think Newson’s text works well here (especially the children speaking to the detective) and Stegmaier’s bold, bright illustrations are a delight - especially the detective’s deerstalker hat.
BEWARE THE BLUE BAGOO was released in the United Kingdom on 9th February 2023. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
