Description

Meet Bunso, a boy with a really scary problem. It's the Mumu, the Filipino version of the Boogeyman, who likes to punish kids who misbehave by sucking the fun out of everything! The Mumu will not let Bunso draw (on the walls), eat ice cream (before dinner), or play video games (his older brother's). But Bunso has had enough! Gearing up to fight back against this destroyer of fun, Bunso makes surprising discoveries about the Mumu (and himself) in this fun, comic-like illustrated picture book that introduces children to Filipino culture and words.

Editorial Reviews

Valdez draws on Filipino folklore he learned from his own family to create a fun, mischievous tale for young readers. He works Tagalog terms into the text seamlessly, and Bunso's narration reads in an authentically childlike voice. Valdez's comic-style drawings are reminiscent of Cartoon Network programs but also have the sensibility of Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes," particularly in its depiction of the instant friendship between Bunso and misunderstood Mumu. Children struggling with fears of monsters under the bed may be comforted by Mumu's adorableness.A fantastic entry into the kid-and-monster-friendship subgenre.
-- Kirkus Starred Review
