Bob, Not Bob: To Be Read as Though You Have the Worst Cold Ever
By: Liz Garton Scanlon and Audrey Vernick and Illustrated by: Matthew Cordell
On Sale: February 14, 2017
Stuffed with the sniffles, BOB, NOT BOB! by Audrey Vernick and Liz Garton Scanlon with illustrations by Matthew Cordell, is immediately relatable to any child (or adult!) who’s had a bad cold, when the only thing you want is someone to take care of you. You see, every time sick Little Louie calls out for “Mom,” his stuffed-up nose brings Bob the dog running instead. Filled with wordplay and situational comedy, BOB, NOT BOB! begs to be read aloud, and it pairs especially well with snuggling.
