A discombobulating adventure about friendship and finding your way home
Bob Bobbity-Bobb the Third lives a Bob-tastic life in the wonderful village of Bobland, where everything from his pet bobcat to the local policeman is called Bob But one day, a bobsleigh ride goes wrong, and Bob tumbles right out of his world and into a very unfamiliar playground.
Feeling lost and confused, Bob has only one way to find a friend: he asks every child he meets, "Is your name Bob?" The children can't help but laugh-Bob is such a funny name Their laughter leaves Bob feeling more lost than ever. Maybe "Bob" really is just a made-up sound?
Just as Bob is about to give up, the children make a wonderful discovery. With the help of their teacher, they find "bob" hiding in plain sight-in a bobble hat, the game of apple bobbing, and even the word "discombobulated" Realising Bob isn't confused, just far from home, they team up to build a magnificent new bobsleigh to send their new friend back to where he belongs.
