The One and Only Bob

My daughter loves reading, and she asked me for this book. It's very cute and a good book for children. She reads it every night. It's a good book.

A three book series my grandchildren, absolutely love the stories according to her dad.

A heartwarming story with so many life lessons for children and adolescents. An edge of your seat adventure but also clean and family friendly.

(reviewed by a 9 year old) “The One and Only Bob” by Katherine Applegate is about a dog named Bob who goes with his owner Julia to the zoo to visit his best friends, Ruby and Ivan. But when he gets there, a bad storm hits, and he gets separated from Julia, Ivan, and Ruby! He eventually gets through it and finds Ivan and Ruby, but then he hears his long-lost sister Boss’s bark and runs off. But he gets through all that and ends up safely back at home. Then Boss knocks on the door, and Bob and Boss are together again! I thought it was a really fun and good story. I loved how I could hear what Bob thought about everything – not from the background but from Bob’s own perspective. I recommend this book because of the exciting story, and how it’s written in Bob’s perspective. It’s a great way to have fun when you’re bored and tired. I think many people should read it and feel the awesomeness of the book.

My son loves this series, he is 8 and going into 4th grade. This is a great read for him alone and also together as a family. This whole series is one for the whole family to enjoy. This is also a great read for a classroom teacher. You really feel for the characters and can envision perfectly through the details of what it is like for each character.

Kids liked it but not enough to read twice

This is another book that is a mainstay in our house. My oldest read it in third grade and it is so good. So many life lesson not only for the kids reading it but also for the adult if you are reading it outloud with your little ones. Highly recommend.

This is shows empathy more than self reliance. Well, it shows more self reliance and empty. It shows the same amount so it’s a really great story 10 out of 10.
