The One and Only Bob Kindle Edition

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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

I read Ivan and Ruby's stories before this one and wasn't sure what to expect. Bob is a snarky dog, and his narrative was pretty solid, but that storm was intense! I had a really hard time pausing to make dinner and then get kids in bed. Kimu freaked me out in the best kind of way. Stretch the giraffe and Ivan and that banana gave me a good laugh. I loved the parts with Snickers, too. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the action. It was a great book!

This is a remarkable book, with beautiful figurative language and imagery. The vocabulary is amazing for young readers, and it certainly will sink in for children who have problems with grammar. This is definitely a book to consider for young kids.
