[Ad- gifted product] After reading Uh Oh Milo! The Impolite Imps, we were excited to see Milo’s next adventure with Beastly Bogels. Uh Oh Milo! The Beastly Bogels has the same two characters as the previous book; Milo and his sister Mary, but this time Bogels are causing many issues for the family. Much like the previous Uh Oh Milo! book, these mythical creatures represent a negative behavior that the children need to learn to fix.
The Bogels are rough when they play, taking toys, playing with their feet, demanding attention and generally being quite naughty. Instead of allowing this behavior, Granny points out what’s wrong with these Bogels and how to make them behave much better. Addressing the issues about the Bogels being fun to play with, Granny helps them curb their behavior and become gentle characters who can share their belongings with each other.
Uh Oh Milo! The Beastly Bogels is a short story, great for bedtime or for little ones to read on their own. The book features a few comic book style pages with large words on them, something the kids really love seeing, yet is very unique to this Uh Oh Milo! series. The general look of the book is very bright and colourful. The characters are funny and the lessons are perfect for younger children, making this book really lovely for a younger crowd looking to learn manners.
The author, Kate Wogan, has two children of her own which provide the inspiration for Milo and Mary. She then makes fun stories full of mystical characters to help children navigate their preschool behaviors. These books really do turn learning manners into a lot of fun!
