Customer Reviews

My grandson and I both liked it.

I read this book to my (adorable) grandson (not quite four years old). He wanted to hear it again the next day, the best possible evidence that it is a very good book. The story carried me along as well: I really was interested in finding out what would happen next, and I liked it the second time just as much. Bobby is a very good protagonist! The book obviously has educational value (differences between bonobos and chimps, use of sign language, getting along with others who are a little different) but this is done lightly and easily.

WOW!

A great book that teaches children about inclusion in a fun way. My son's class really enjoyed it and we all learned how to sign WOW!
