Bob le bobo
by Mélina SchoenbornThe most endearing boo-boo in the history of boo-boos!
Bob is a boo-boo. An adorable little boo-boo. But he’s alone and he’s bored. It’s not always easy to make friends when you’re a boo-boo. Maybe the little boy who’s just fallen off his bike will want to adopt him… Thus begins a story of great friendship, which will constantly be called upon to renew itself.
Highlights
• Naïve style illustrations that beautifully accompany a simple text, well adapted to young children
• A theme close to the reality of small children, but rarely treated in literature
• An endearing character who helps take the drama out of the small, daily boo-boos children get
• An amusing way to talk about care given to minor injuries
