Book Descriptions
for Up on Bob by Mary Sullivan
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A funny, easy-to-read picture book about Bob the dachshund, who jumps up on a bed, tosses everything off of it, and musses up the covers to hunker down for a day-long nap. It's the perfect spot for him, until Bob realizes Someone is watching him. That Someone turns out to be a cat, who then jumps up on the bed to join him. And it turns out her perfect spot is on top of Bob, once she finishes licking, patting, and positioning herself on top of him to settle down for a nap. A funny story told completely in short, declarative, understated sentences and cartoon-style digital illustrations that add a great deal of humor. (Ages 3-6)
