Customer Reviews

Very cute book!

This book is very cute. Obviously, it's about Bob's birthday but instead of acknowledging it, Wendy has everyone act like they don't know it's his birthday so she can throw a surprise party for him that evening. Bob goes about his day working, and getting a little sad and disgruntled that everyone seems to have forgotten his birthday. Wendy even goes to the trouble of getting the mail before Bob can so she can hide all his birthday cards. When he returns back to the yard from a long day (he even has a bunch of accidents. Just wasn't his day!), he is surprised with two cakes, many birthday cards, and presents. Dizzy even made him a cement birthday cake! It's quite cute and a nice way to teach kids to remember others' birthdays. We read it all the time in our house and we highly recommend it!

Bob the Builder in General

This show is the best thing that people could let their children watch. My 21 month old loves it, and so do I. I catch myself still watching it after he goes on to something else, or to sleep. I love the way that they put the children's everyday adventures into something that is going on with them. Like Muck thinking that Scoop was being hard on him one day, that is just like the trials that I went through as a child, and I know that children now days go through more than I did. This is definately a 5 star show and I'd recommend it to anyone with children, young or old.
