One day, I was digging in the yard, looking for unicorn horns. Guess what? I found a mysterious box! There was a name on the lock. It said “Boo.” Who is Boo? Let’s find out!
We decided to ask our neighbors about Boo. First, we asked Hugh. He said Boo is a good fellow and to ask Mopoke. Then, Mopoke told us Boo is always in a hurry and might be yellow. Another friend said Boo is big and blue and once chopped a tree in two!
Someone else said Boo is sweet and never quarrels. But then, we heard Boo can be a mischievous fiend with green teeth! Some said Boo is loud and scary, with claws and jaws like dinosaurs!
We were a little scared, but we decided to meet Boo. We found him by the brook. We asked, “Is this your old box?” Boo invited us in for snacks and tea!
Boo told us that not all stories are true. Sometimes he’s fun, sometimes sad, sometimes sweet, and sometimes mad. Boo is red, green, orange, and blue, just like a rainbow of feelings!
We realized Boo is one of a kind, just like us! We liked Boo, and Boo liked us too. Before we left, Boo gave us a magical, sparkly surprise!
And that’s the end of “Who is Boo?” We had so much fun meeting Boo! Do you like stories? Books are full of amazing adventures and fun! You can read them anywhere—on a car, plane, or train!
Ask your guardian to help you find more books. You’ll be glad you did! Thanks for joining the storytime. See you next time!
Colorful Feelings Chart: Boo is described as having many colors, just like feelings. Create a feelings chart using different colors to represent different emotions. For example, red for mad, blue for sad, yellow for happy, and green for calm. Ask the children to draw or color a picture of Boo showing how they think Boo feels in different parts of the story. Discuss with them how Boo’s feelings change and relate it to their own experiences.
Neighborhood Exploration: Just like the characters asked their neighbors about Boo, encourage the children to explore their own neighborhood or classroom. Ask them to find out something new about a friend or neighbor. They can ask questions like “What is your favorite color?” or “Do you have a pet?” Have them share what they learned with the class, emphasizing the idea that everyone has unique stories and qualities, just like Boo.
Story Box Creation: Boo was found through a mysterious box. Provide each child with a small box and art supplies. Ask them to decorate their box and fill it with items or drawings that represent their own stories or favorite things. Once completed, have a show-and-tell session where each child can share their “story box” with the class. This activity helps them understand that everyone has their own unique story, just like Boo.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Who is Boo?
I’m digging for unicorn horns in the yard, but I just hit a mysterious box. Look at the front; there’s a name on the lock. Who is Boo? Let’s go find out! We’ll ask our neighbors if they have seen him.
Hey there, Hugh! Who is Boo?
Boo’s a good fellow, just ask Mopoke.
Who is Boo?
Boo’s a hurried, blurry fellow. What’s the rush? I think he’s yellow.
Who is Boo?
Boo is huge and midnight blue. I heard he chopped a tree in two.
Who is Boo?
Oh, he’s a sweet lad, and we never once quarreled. He might be the dearest in the whole wide world.
Who is Boo?
Boo’s a mischievous fiend; he reeks of feet, and his teeth are green. Boo’s a musty, crusty lout who shouts and can blast your eardrums out.
He lives by the brook. Quiet down, you scurvy dogs! You’re louder than a herd of hogs. Boo would barbecue you two and use your spleen to make a stew.
He’s red as rage, with claws galore and jaws the size of dinosaurs. Don’t become the adorable feast of that deplorable, horrible beast!
What should we do? Let’s go say hi!
I’m scared of Boo. Let’s meet the guy.
Who are you? Is this your old box? We don’t mean to bug you.
This beat-up box means a lot to me. Please come in for snacks and tea!
We heard so much gossip, but now we can see you’re nothing like what we imagined you’d be. Fears can be clouds that fog up your view, and not every story and rumor is true.
I’m usually fun, but sometimes I’m sad. Sometimes I’m sweet, and sometimes I’m mad.
I’m red and green and orange and blue, a swirl of many things like you. I am Boo, and I’m one of a kind. Get to know me yourself and see what you find.
We like you, Boo!
I like you too!
Wow, it was fun to meet you guys! Before you head home, I have a surprise. I know it’s not much, but I thought you might like this sparkly, magical silver-white spike.
Look at that!
And that is the end of “Who is Boo?”
What do you think? I loved it! I hope you did too. Now I hope we get to see you again soon for story time, so come back, okay?
If you don’t have books, then what are you waiting for?
Books have stories that are brought to life, and it’s fun! I like to read books about fantasy and love. I tell other kids to get books because they’re full of stories and laughter.
I’ll read it on the go—in a car, a plane, even on a train!
Don’t wait around; ask your guardian to download books now. You’ll be glad you did!
