Book Cover & Preview Text
On the very far side
of Lake Walleywakoo
is a forest so thick
it gets dark before two.
And deep in these woods
so scary and dark
lives the meanest of beasts,
the Great Boo Eating Snark!
Some say they''ve seen him,
way off in the trees.
He’s a giant of a beast,
big as six Boo plus three!
His teeth are like fangs.
He''s covered with scales;
with great giant claws
much sharper than nails.
With glowing red eyes,
he stalks through the night
hunting for Boo,
to the left and the right.

About the Book
Come join us my
friend,
In the Land of the Boo.
There you’ll see Purple-Green sand,
And little Betty Lou, too.
In a series of children stories in Tales of the Boo, Uncle Jake takes a whimsical look at the magical, mystical world of the Boo – fanciful creatures who live along Lake Walleywakoo.
Join them in their adventures as they explore such uplifting and relevant subjects as how helping the smallest Boo ends up helping everyone and how panic and wild imaginations can lead to mass hysteria.
A true Aesop-style lesson for today’s youth, The Tales of the Boo, also chronicles how, by not always following the crowd, one individual can change the world for the better.
Rhyming in classic style, Uncle Jake makes this book a truly entertaining and educating read for all ages – and one that can be shared by all children and parents.
