Bob Press

Advantages: Cheerful, bright and bold illustrations.
Disadvantages: Some of the jokes are more for the adults than the kids!

...and the odd parts of Bob’s life will create giggles and discussion! There is a lot going on and it will certainly keep your interest right through to the end. At 32 pages it is long enough to pass some time and not so long that the jokes begin to wear thin. I thoroughly recommend this story. Bob is a thoroughly nice man and his life is well worth spying on. It is the extraordinary tale of a rather ordinary bloke! Oh, yes…and Bob has TWO eggs for breakfast. Just in case you were wondering! ~~~BOOK DETAILS. • Hardcover 32 pages (August 1, 2002) • Publisher: Candlewick Press (MA) • ISBN: 0763618977 Man on the Moon is currently selling for £6.99 on Amazon ~ the cover price is £9.99....
