Description
More fun for two African American brothers in The Adventures of Liam & Landen series!
In Boogey Be Gone the boys learn how to turn their nighttime fears into an adventure. Liam and Landen wake their parents because they are terrified about monsters under the bed. This time, it is Dad who comes to the rescue, with the family’s unique blend of patience and humor.
“Splish, splash, slosh, spray! All boogey monsters had better get out of the way!” Dad’s homemade spray, Boogey-B-Gone (get the recipe!) eliminates all monsters. Liam and Landen discover that fighting their fears can be an imaginative game. They hunt through the dark corners they fear, spraying “short boogeys and tall boogeys and purple and red”. Describing the monsters becomes a game, and in their pursuit they rediscover the safety of their home.
Kids ages 2-6 will enjoy this book’s colorful illustrations and imagine facing their fears in a playful way.

Very cute rhyming book for younger children who may be scared at nighttime. The idea of spraying them to make the monsters disappear definitely got a laugh from the kids!

This book had me hooked when it said it was based on a true story.
How do you deal with monsters? Do you hide? No! You get rid of them! This family makes sure that they are safe before they go to sleep. And don't worry, this book has the recipe for the spray that makes the monsters go away.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

A cute and fun bedtime story great for any child who may have worries of the boogeyman! My son gasp at the "based on a true story" title claim, while I giggled remembering an early time with my child where we made our own boogeyspray to protect our house. The added recipe at the back really took this story home for me as I love when stories give us "an activity." The photos were bright and eye catching and I enjoyed the flow of the story.
