BOB, NOT BOB!
by Liz Garton Scanlon

This week's pick is from Cottager Jamie Michalak.
What it's all about ...
Little Louie has the worst cold ever. All he wants is his mom, but every time he calls for her, slobbery Bob the dog comes running instead!
Why it's on The Little Crooked Bookshelf …
Because of the clever, funny, I-wish-I-thought-of-it concept: read this story as though you have the worst cold ever.
Favorite line(s) ...
"I doan wan by bedicine. I doan wanda bubba bat. And I doan wanda dap." *
Favorite illustration ...

Why kids will love it …
Hearing the name "Bob" will get them every time.
Why grown-ups will love it …
BOB, NOT BOB! is the go-to book for any time children with a cold need a little comfort and giggles through the sniffles. And parents will surely relate to how realistically the doting, but tired, "Bob" is portrayed.
* (I don't want my medicine. I don't want a bubble bath. And I don't want a nap.)
