'Beware The Blue Bagoo' by Karl Newson

Updated: Jan 6, 2023

Book Description


BEWARE the Blue Bagoo! Join in with the detective who is on the trail of a mysterious blue creature in this fun picture book!


A detective tries to uncover the truth about the infamous “Blue Bagoo”—a creature so big and scary that it can’t possibly be made up, can it?


Our detective addresses us—the reader—on the very first page, and then walks the winding cobbled streets of a Dr. Suess–esque seaside town, taking statements from the residents.


The Blue Bagoo proves elusive, but rumors of its “supposed” qualities have spread throughout the town. However, as the investigation proceeds, there is a critical twist....


This is a tale of rumors and fears, that also teaches us a gentle lesson about jumping to conclusions and judging others!





Book Review


A very sweet short story book with an important message contained. This is an absolutely fantastic story for children of all ages to help teach them not to listen to rumours and what damage can be done through them. The story is rhyming and I had loads of fun reading it myself as a 36 year old and then my 10 year old son also enjoyed reading it. I also read it to my 5 year old twins who absolutely loved the bright and fun illustrations which were very attractive to the eye. The story was funny with a hint of mystery and a twist at the end!! A lovely children's book and I am looking forward to reading more children's books by this author myself and to the children!!!
