Bob

“…From the blooming yellow and orange day lilies and cattails to Bob’s striking black-and-white plumage, Pearson has added her unique whimsical touch to the pastoral beauty of the countryside. A lighthearted, wonderfully illustrated story.”

- Kirkus

“A visual treat for lap or group sharing.”

- Booklist

“A rooster with a bit of an identity crisis takes center coop in this lighthearted picture book about the sounds various animals make . . . Kicky pencil-and-watercolor scenes give this simple barnyard tale a vibrant sense of sound and movement . . . Offers readers something to crow about.”

- Publishers Weekly

“Bob has a problem. Living as he does among the chickens, all he can do is cluck. But henrietta the cat sets him straight. 'Bob . . . You need to stop clucking and learn how to crow . . . That's what roosters do.' This advice sends him on a search among the animals of field and forest for one who will teach him to crow . . . The droll, repititious text, perfect for reading aloud, is delightfully complemented by birght, lively watercolor illustrations.”
