The One and Only Bob

My son loves this series, he is 8 and going into 4th grade. This is a great read for him alone and also together as a family. This whole series is one for the whole family to enjoy. This is also a great read for a classroom teacher. You really feel for the characters and can envision perfectly through the details of what it is like for each character.

I read Ivan and Ruby's stories before this one and wasn't sure what to expect. Bob is a snarky dog, and his narrative was pretty solid, but that storm was intense! I had a really hard time pausing to make dinner and then get kids in bed. Kimu freaked me out in the best kind of way. Stretch the giraffe and Ivan and that banana gave me a good laugh. I loved the parts with Snickers, too. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the action. It was a great book!

I bought this for my 5th graders to read after finishing, The One and Only Ivan. Student recommended!!! We used it to facilitate literature groups and it was loved by all who read it. What a great fantasy novel..

I liked that there was some bits that were really happy and some not but I enjoyed every single part of it. I would recommend this book to everyone who feels like something good to read but especially to kids.

I love the one and only bob Love that bob found his sister love that it still has ruby and Ivan and that Ivan found a family and so did Ivan and bob I Recommend this book so much

This was a very sad story about animals in cages. Eventually all comes out well, and the characters are plucky and creative. The empathetic boy in the story is great as well. Highly recommended

Heartwrenching story of friendships by animals

Child loved the book

The characters in the book (told from the point of view of a dog named Bob) are wonderful. Also has a contemporary story line. The original Ivan (gorilla) in the book is based on an actual gorilla kept in captivity for most of his life in Washington State and then rescued and moved to the Atlanta Zoo. The previous book "The One and Only Ivan" is also good and there is a Disney movie by the same name. I got a copy for my grand nephew in print and his whole class was given the book as an assignment.

Very good book to read

Edición en Inglés y Pasta Dura por Katherine Applegate. Muy Bonita presntación ilustrada con bellos dibujos. "THE ONE AND ONLY BOB" es la secuela de el libro "The One and Only Ivan" por la misma autora pero ahora narrado desde el punto de vista de un perrito adoptado: BOB. Libro para niños, jóvenes y adultos que en forma divertida y a veces triste nos enseña el mundo a través de los ojos y palabras de Bob y sus amigos. Nos hace reflexionar sobre el tratamiento que damos a los animales, salvajes o domésticos, y a nuestro bello y maltratado planeta además de mostrar el comportamiento humano cotidiano desde el punto de vista de los animales. El libro está estructurado en forma de breves viñetas con frases y párrafos también cortos pero de gran contenido y escritos en forma tierna y divertida; es de muy fácil lectura. Existen traducciones de ambas obras al Español aunque no he encontrado presentaciones en pasta dura. ADULTOS: este libro no es solamente para audiencias jóvenes. LÉANLO, les encantará. F.M.
