Synopsis

Bobo (accidentally!) risks getting lost at sea in this irresistible adventure starring everyone’s favorite frenemies.

Willie and Bobo are exploring. And just look at all they’ve found! There are spectacular sticks and teeny tiny non-bitey roly-poly bugs. And this—a red bucket! Why, that would make the perfect boat for Bobo. But while Willie is marveling over the prospects of Bobo as sailor man, the boat—and Bobo!—start to drift away. Far away! Is there anything Willie can do to save his best bud? Perhaps a certain cat can help...

From School Library Journal:

PreS-K– Willy, a child with a vivid imagination, explores the woods with his favorite toy monkey, Bobo, while his pet cat, Earl, tags along. They find poisonous mushrooms, nuts, a fuzzy caterpillar, a comb someone must have dropped, and then–a river and a bucket. “Get in, Bobo. Now you're a sailor man!” Earl's personality and opinions shine through simply by virtue of the feline's facial expressions. Meanwhile, Bobo repeats the deadpan look found in I Must Have Bobo! (2011) and I'll Save You Bobo! (2012, both S & S). The unpretentious artwork on a yellowish-beige background allows emphasis where it is important, such as on the red bucket that floats away with Bobo in it or the fluffy white clouds that take on shapes that allow the boy's mind to wander.–Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VAα(c) Copyright 2013.
