We read Boo-Boo the Eco-Warrior by Tanushree Podder a few months ago, and my book club enjoyed it. For one, it’s easy to read because of the way the text is laid out. For another, the stories in the book are simple and engaging. That’s why we will be reading another book featuring this friendly ghost—Boo-Boo Investigates.
Forest Experiences
As Boo-Boo lives in the forest, we will listen to some forest sounds and write what comes to mind. What can you see? What do you hear? What do you think you would be able to smell? While we don’t write much at my book club for ages seven and eight, I do like to work with a little creative writing, an introduction of sorts, which will prepare the children for other writing activities later.
Mysteries
If you had to solve a mystery, what clues would you look for? As we discuss that, we will also do an activity in which we try to identify the pugmarks various animals make. Paying attention to detail is part of being a good investogator!
Word Games
Playing word games is always fun! We’ll do a spelling bee and unscramble a few words from the book as a fun way to revisit the vocabulary we pick up as we read.

Reading a series is a great way to get children hooked to reading! Characters grow to be friends, and children are eager to find out what other adventures these familiar characters go on. Boo-Boo is one of those characters my book clubbers loved meeting!
