Bookroo's summary

Boo's mom finds him hiding under the covers and knows he is afraid of the dark, even though he says he isn't. So she plays a game of pretend: soon she is the one seeing and hearing scary things, and Boo comes to the rescue by showing her what each one really is.

From the publisher

A mom's playful game eases her child's fear of the dark and teaches him how to work through those fears by separating what is real from what is imaginary. A little boy's fear of the night becomes apparent to his mom when she enters his room to find him hiding underneath the bed covers. She asks him if he's afraid of the dark and he instantly denies it. But she knows he is, so she plays a game of pretend with him. When Boo's mom starts seeing and hearing scary things in the room, the little boy comes to her rescue and eases her fears by identifying what is scaring her.
