I Must Have Bobo

Submitted by Ms. Amanda!
I have two cats and they are always taking my things. They steal my socks, my pencils, and even my toys, just like Earl the cat keeps taking Bobo from Willy in I Must Have Bobo by Eileen Rosenthal. Bobo is a sock monkey who helps Willy with everything from fighting bugs to walking past scary dogs. One morning, Willy wakes up to find something is very WRONG! Bobo is missing! After looking for Bobo, Willy finds he has been stolen by Willy’s cat, Earl. Later that day, Earl steals Bobo while Willy is coloring, and then again when Willy is playing blocks. Willy can not find Bobo anywhere he looks: not in the dresser, nor under the rug, and not even in the washing machine. Finally, Willy finds Earl and Bobo on the chair, napping safe and sound… or so Willy thinks! This story made me laugh out loud because it is just like a cat to steal someone’s favorite toy. If you have a cat in your home (and if you don’t, you should) you will enjoy this book! See this book listed in our catalog
