From School Library Journal:
Preschool-Grade 1--What makes those creaks, those shrieks in the middle of the night? Why does the house tremble and why do shadows appear on the wall? Grown-ups blame the breeze, a passing train, a yowling cat. But the brother and sister in this gently scary tale discover that it's really Bugbear (a bald and portly mischief-maker in red-and-white striped shorts) and Bugaboo (his green, furry, and similarly rotund little sidekick). Together, these impish creatures try their best to terrorize the youngsters but when the pajama-clad siblings catch sight of the troublesome duo, they turn the tables on them. Springing from their hiding place and shouting a horrible "Boo" of their own, they so startle Bugbear and Bugaboo that the two little bullies are last seen heading across the lawn at a terrified run. While taking some liberties with rhyme and meter, the rollicking verse is full of onomatopoeia and spooky noises. Nighttime blues and the wide, frightened eyes of the children provide the chills in the watercolor, pen, and ink illustrations but the reassuring glow in the lighted rooms, the gentle presence of parents, and the diminutive size of the trespassers effectively temper the shivers. A great opportunity for adults to howl and yowl at bedtime storytimes, these "boos" deserve a resounding yeah.
