the wonderful tommy tomato gave me this book, and since i rarely review my picture books, i figured now was a good time to start.

this book is so cute!

it is all about a little boy who cannot function without his stuffed monkey, bobo. i can totally relateif i have to sleep without my bunny, i become very unhappy. i no longer carry him everywhere with me, as i did my entire freshman year of college (job interviews were fun, let me tell you!) earning me the nickname “bunny girl,” but i still have him and love him, and if my cat were to keep stealing him on me, like the cat in this book, there would be problems. ohwho am i kiddingi would think it was adorable. the boy in this book seems to have a problem with sharing bobo with his cat, earl, but i think i would be okay with it. maggie does not seem to like to snuggle with toys as much as i do. she is way more mature than her owner.

i love how bobo seems to make this kid bratty, “BOBO DOESN’T LIKE RAISINS IN HIS OATMEAL!!” “BOBO THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING PANCAKES”, but bobo also protects him from scary dogs and buggas. and that is an admirable quality in stuffed pals.

the illustrations are very simple, but i love the frowny expression on earl’s face whenever willy takes bobo back. earl will have his vengeance. adorable.

i particularly love that when i typed in the title to review this, goodreads politely asked me, “did you mean i must have boob??” goodreads, have you been reading my mail??

when you click the link for “i must have boob,” however, it takes you exactly nowhere. way to prank me, goodreads…

this feels gauche, but when i announced i was starting a blog, everyone assured me this is a thing that is done. i’m not on facebook, i’ve never had a cellphone or listened to a podcast; so many common experiences of modern life are foreign to me, but i’m certainly struggling financially, so if this is how the world works now, i’d be foolish to pass it up. any support will be received with equal parts gratitude and bewilderment.
