Bobo Night Night

We read Tall and Hug before bed every night and my two year old twins love Bobo. Each child likes to pretend to FALL! into Mommy's arms before going to sleep. I believe they feel safe knowing Mommy is there for them.

Fun to read, easy to understand the emotion and the relationship

Great, great book that benefits the child in many ways. On emotion and trust, it shows that parents will always be there for the child -- Bobo's mom ran to catch him when he was about to fall. My 1.8 years old child loves it when I simulate that I can football-catch a falling teddy bear, and especially prevent her from falling down in real life. The book also shows friendship between Bobo and the other animals.

very easy to read for preschool

my 3 yr old daughter and I love this book so much. this is the first book that she can read and spell and remember quickly the words because it repeat again and again my daughter start remember the word without she realize it.

Jez Alborough is great....

Another great book with Bobo the monkey!! Simple book for little ones!!

Bobo's Back!

Bobo fans rejoice! The lovable chimp from Hug is back in Jez Alborough's latest book Tall. This time around, Bobo wants to be as tall as his friends in the jungle, each of whom try to help the little guy out by putting him on their shoulders. Mommy shows up just in time to rescue him when he takes a tumble off of the giraffe, teaching Bobo that sometimes it's OK to be small. Tall follows the same approach as Hug, with a minimal use of words (small, tall, fall, Bobo, and Mommy) and a journey through the jungle where he encounters some familiar friends. Alborough's artwork is wonderful, and Bobo's facial expressions are just as endearing as they were in Hug. Tall is a delightful book for young children; and anyone who's a child at heart will find this book hard to resist. Like Hug, Tall is the kind of book worth passing to the next generation.
