Boo-tiful You (A Nat Geo Baby Board Book)

Spiders, bats, and other often-misunderstood Halloween animals are celebrated through playful rhyme in this Nat Geo Kids board book with a surprise mirror at the end!

I’m BOO-tiful me. You’re BOO-tiful you.
You have eight crawly legs. I only have two!

From walking on two legs or eight (like spiders), to sleeping in a bed or upside down (like bats), this Halloween-themed board book highlights ways that living things are both different and the same. Adorable real-world photography and friendly rhymes help young readers appreciate animals that might seem scary at first, like wolves, frogs, and snakes. And a shiny mirror on the final page lets kids study their own features and celebrate all the ways they are both similar to and different from the animals they’ve discovered.

Perfect for Halloween boo baskets or bedtime reading, this engaging read-aloud has simple, rhythmic text and sturdy board pages for little hands. It’s a sweet reminder that being unique is BOO-tiful!
