Having read and enjoyed Baptiste's fantasy novels about the jumbies, I was quite excited to discover that she had also written a picture-book on the subject, and lost no time in tracking it down. Looking for a Jumbie did not disappoint, pairing an engaging adventure story with a repetitive sing-song structure, and just the right blend of spooky and sweet appeal, with cute artwork from illustrator Amber Ren. I would love to read a more extensive collection of traditional tales featuring these and other kinds of jumbies, but Baptiste's book is a nice introduction to them, for younger audiences. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for stories about less well-known fantastical creatures, and to anyone seeking children's books with a Caribbean cultural background. ( )
