Boo Times Two #5

Illustrated by Kathrin Fehrl
Celebrate Halloween with best friends Arnold and Louise!

In this story designed to engage early readers, charming characters combine with simple text, lively illustrations, and laugh-out-loud humor to help boost kids' confidence and create lifelong readers!


Louise knows exactly what she wants to be for Halloween. She also knows exactly what she wants her best friend, Arnold, to be. The problem is, he's not so sure he agrees with her. Can these best buds find a way to communicate and compromise, or will the fear of hurting each other's feelings keep them from coming up with a solution? 

Follow the delightful duo as they navigate the thrills and chills of choosing the right Halloween costume! 

Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.
