(2) PS "On Halloween, the cow says Boo." But who is the "someone out of sight" replying "Baa"? This ­nighttime-set board book stars the beloved animals and animal sounds from Boynton's ­classic Moo, Baa, La La La! and boasts Boynton's signature cartoon style. The follow-up works well on its own, though devotees of the first book (i.e., most toddlers) will delight in recognizing familiar characters and phrasing. The clueless cow contemplates the mystery, wondering, "Who might it be..." After a ­cacophony of familiar noises (meow, quack, snort, snuff, etc.), the cow climbs up "the tallest hill. / She calls out Booo! / Then all is still." Skilled narrative pacing makes the final spread especially satisfying, featuring an answer to the mystery, a well-earned reunion, and a "Happy Halloween to yoooou!"
