All very important lessons for our little ones to learn from an early age.... The illustrations in the book are wonderful. Full of color and fun characters - your child will want to jump into the pages and play at the seaside with Bob.- PennyMindingMom.com The story is well-written poetry, and very encouraging for children to read. The illustrations are beautiful. Although several of the characters wear glasses, and Doc is the only animal wearing clothes- the characters are all beautifully and realistically drawn. I highly recommend this book to be in any library for character traits. Bob is a wonderful example of determination and resourcefulness. This book is easily five stars. - Selena, Goodreads I loved how this book was full of positivity and Bob was encouraged to do things even if he felt he couldn't, and he never gave up.
