An adorable childrens book featuring Willy (the boy), BoBo (the sock monkey) his beloved favorite toy, and Earl (the cat) who loves BoBo as well, and tries to steal him and hide him whenever he can. 

Willy spends a lot of time trying to find his BoBo, who helps him find bugs, and protects him from big dogs. Things are not the same when BoBo is missing, but Willy just needs to find Earl the cat, and BoBo is sure to be safe at his side. 

An adorable book with an old-fashion feel, beautifully illustrated, and a treat for young and old everywhere.

    The Bobo book seems very cute. :)

  5. We have a new baby in the family -- sounds like a cute one for her bookshelf (her mom's a librarian, so all the classics are already there!) Thanks, Diane!

  10. Lovely new blog look! I should get this--I have a granddaughter who is hooked on "baby puppy", some little stuffed poodle her dad gave her from one of his trips. Used to be white, now gray even after washing, and the neck is pretty limp and wobbly by now.

  11. I think your review is very entertaining and quick to explain what the book is about. I love the idea of a cat helping a boy find his sock monkey toy because cats are able to find anything if they put their minds to it!
