<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Mo is a little mouse who wants to be very scary. Beau is the big bear Mo would like to learn from. While Beau is pretty sure a small mouse can't be scary, he shows Mo his scariest moves. Mo, practicing hard, still isn't very scary. Frustrated and tired, Beau leaves for a nap. Mo keeps practicing and finally jumps on Beau's head roaring his best roar, startling the bear awake, with his noise and large shadow. Beau has to admit that Mo could be very scary."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Mo wanted to be scary.<br> Very, <i>very</i> scary.<br> So he asked Beau to teach him how.</b></p> <p>Little mouse Mo wants to be scary like his friend big bear Beau. Beau shows him how to make his eyebrows. He shows him how to make his ears. He shows him how to roar like a bear. Being scary is hard work! Join these two adorable characters on their second read-aloud adventure as Mo learns that even big bears can be scared, and little mice can be scary.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Mo wanted to be scary. Very, very scary. So he asked Beau to teach him how.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for Mo and Bo 2: </b></p> <p><b>Highly Recommended. </b>This gentle picture book tells the story of two friends who are very different. Though he knows it's a lost cause, Beau the bear tries to teach Mo the mouse how to be scary. Vanya Nastanlieva uses her talents as both author and illustrator to great effect in tandem here. <p/><b>This short tale of two companions is sweet and simple.</b> The text is playful (changing in colour, size, emphasis, and type face), and, if you've read the first Mo and Beau, you'll know that the illustrations are sparse but effective. In this sequel, too, Beau is rendered in a dark, rough, sketchy style, never once fitting wholly onto the page in his bulk, with a large foot filling one side of the page here, his snout filling another page there. The reader gets the sense that we are seeing him (and the world) from Mo's perspective. Looking up at a creature of such height and breadth, a mouse's eyes simply wouldn't be able to take all of him in at once. Nastanlieva does a wonderful job of portraying emotion in the characters' body language and facial expressions. <b>I love the shape of the book, perhaps because it feels cozy, a smaller shape for smaller hands to help hold in an intimate read-aloud setting.</b> -- <i>CM: Canadian Review of Materials</i></p><br>
