I loved this book!! Bob is an adorable little "boo-boo" who is searching for someone to help-I love how he asks "Can I be your boo-boo?'.. It would be perfect to read to a child who got hurt and is afraid of getting a wound cleaned or needs help expressing his emotions-I love how the book tells the story from Bob's point of view-even the boo boo needs some TLC too!

Thank you for granting me access to this ARC.

What an adorable book about the inevitable downfalls (pun intended) of childhood— a boo-boo. Putting a positive and funny spin on something that hurts and upsets kids is so smart. Bob is cute and lovable and just wants to be taken care of. Job well done on this! The illustrations are adorable too.

Cute. Adorable. Illustrations are amazing.
My son and I read this at bedtime and he loves it. He said he likes the part where Bob was getting cleaned and a band-aid was put on.

Thank you NetGalley and to the publisher Kids Can Press for the ARC.

This picture book was such a sweet way to explain a boo-boo. As a teacher, my students tell me they have boo-boos all the time, and I console them, give them a bandaid, and kiss their boo-boos (by way of a kiss on my finger and a tap on their bandaids). I would love to start the year off by reading this book to my students so they know that their boo-boos are harmless. I really liked this book! I think kids will love it, as well.

Thank you kids can press and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

Bob the boo boo was a good book, especially when it is so difficult to make kids understand what injuries mean. This will help parents when they want their kids to know more about boo boo. That it's normal to fall sometime and get a boo boo.

My kid loved it. Thank you for the ARC once again.

This is a fun book to help little kids learn about boo boos. My four year old loved Bob and enjoyed watching his journey. This is an amazing way to let kids know that boo boos aren’t bad or scary and won’t last forever.

This children’s picture book is a cute story of Bob and The Boy. The illustrations are colorful and fun. If you have a child that gets a lot of boo-boos get this story to read together!

My two year old son loved this book!

The illustrations are very cute and were easy for my toddler to comment on.

The story focusses on Bob who is a Boo-Boo looking for a new home. He finds a home on a boy’s knee. After time together and learning about healing a wound, the Boo-Boo is gone. This helped my son have a better understanding of healing and to not be afraid of it.

This is a very cute picture book about a boo-boo, but it's also a nice introduction to healing that won't frighten kids. The pictures are simple and adorable. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

This is a cute book. I have never seen a book about a boo boo, so I was intrigued. The pictures of the variety of bandaids definitely added to the book in a positive way since all kids are obsessed with band aids! My suggestion for the book would be to have the illustrator add a helmet to the child on the skate board.

My 3yo enjoyed this book, it started out a little shaky, I was wondering where it was going but then it delivered a story of a boy with a boo boo who has a mom who cared for his boo boo until it went away. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC

A very cute book that is both whimsical and informative. Bob the Boo-Boo has a life and a trajectory that is part of his story (he's got a life as a boo-boo and needs a home) but his story also illustrates the process of healing and the fact that boo boos eventually go away. I thought it was a humorous little story for kids and though it doesn't really have a ''message'' it does contain information that helps kids understand. I also really liked the drawings and colorful illustrations of Bob and the kid he comes to live on.

read this with my 3 and 5-year-old. One of our favorite books is about scabs. That one has detailed scientific info, so I was curious how they would react to this book. We loved it! It’s a cutesy way to encourage kids to wash and change bandaids daily {changing out a bandaid is often a fight in this house.} I love the diversity of characters and that their emotions were easy for my 3-year-old to comment on.

((I will post this review on Goodreads closer to the publication date.))

I received a free eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is an odd one! It’s an anthropomorphized scab, I guess? Bob is a boo-boo looking for a new home. He runs across various people who’ve hurt themselves (a skateboarder, an old man with a blister, etc.), but he finally finds a home on a little boy’s knee. The two become friends and hte little boy changes Bob’s bandage every day as he grows smaller and smaller and eventually moves on. I guess it’s kind of sweet? And I suppose it could make you less afraid of getting hurt? But I also feel like a kid might freak out that their “friend” the boo-boo is suddenly gone? Or maybe I’m overthinking it…

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

This one was a little different....it might make kids want a boo boo. It is a cute way to share information about taking care of and healing a scrap though. And the illustrations are adorable!

I read this to my niece, and she loved it. I thought it was cute I think it would make a good book when a child gets a booboo or maybe even a bedtime story.
