In a sweet rhyming ode to unconditional love, debut author Kate Dopirak celebrates the silly ups and downs of life with a little one.

Introducing an adorable fox family, where the older brother is sweetand a bit of a stinker. But whether he gets along (or doesn't) with his baby sibling, whether he is helpful (or not) to his family, or whether he behaves (or doesn't) when it's time to settle down, his Mama is always right there to reassure him that, "No matter what you do, you willalways be my boo."

Industry Reviews

From morning to night, a mother fox loves her children, especially her oldest, her Boo. She gives him affectionate nicknames throughout the day as the kit and his younger sister eat, play, and squabble. Whether he s nice or mean, happy or sad, Mom is always there to hug and snuggle her Boo. The rhyming text, printed in a large font and nicely laid out for reading aloud to children, bounces along merrily....The singsong text and spreads are interrupted by quartets of sequential actions punctuated with single-syllable words, Yes! No! Nice! Mean! These sequences show the siblings quarreling, after which their mother always reassures them that she loves them. Sometimes it seems as though the resolutions are glossed over. Thankfully, the illustrations, rendered in pencil and colored with hand-painted collage pieces and digital painting, provide more of a story arc, as well as family interactions for readers to explore and discuss. VERDICT An additional purchase for public libraries looking for more bedtime tales.--School Library Journal "September 2016 ""
