This book is a great addition to read to toddlers. They will enjoy the storyline of getting a boo boo and it going away with care.

Mother of two here, and we thought Bob is a Boo-Boo, by Melina Schoenborn, was so cute! What a clever concept, the idea of a Boo-Boo packing its bags and moving on to find another place to live. The illustrations were beautiful, both of my kids LOVED the creativity of the bandaids. It was the perfect book for my 8-year-old to read to my 5-year-old. We also loved that the little boy was sad to see his boo-boo go, only to get hurt again at the last page. We would recommend this to another family, of kindergarteners or younger.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for this eARC!

This book was so cute! It playfully explains how boo-boo's come and get smaller and eventually leave after time. This book is a great way to talk about children and the boo-boo's they will experience throughout life. The humor is just right, and doesn't take away from the story. I'd recommend for pre-k and up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Melina Schoenborn for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book was the oddest but had a great way of helping kids understand small injuries and how they may be there for a little bit and then go away. It does end abruptly I felt, but the last page made me laugh! The illustrations were stellar!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC. Bob is a cute, friendly little boo-boo looking for a nice place to live, and he finds it on the knee of a little boy. My little boy who loves getting to pick out bandaids for his own boo-boos loved that part, and loved that bob even went in the bath with the little boy. My kids both enjoyed Bob’s adventure and the illustrations were cute too.

What a cute story! I love the cover pages with the fun colorful bandages, such a cute touch. The story itself is told from the perspective of a boo boo who is looking for for a home, aka a body. He ends up with a sweet boy who has fallen and is sad and together they get cleaned up by his mom and taken care of. Over the next few days Bob gets smaller and smaller and eventually packs up and moves on to find a new home. The boy tells him he will miss him but Bob ensures him he will be back soon enough, implying that boo-boos are inevitable. This would be a fun read aloud for younger students, I'd say prek-1st grade and I would definitely consider buying it for my elementary school library.
Thank you to Kids Can Press and NetGalley for an ARC of this book!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of Bob the Boo-Boo! This book was cute and would probably work best for toddlers/preschoolers. It was a very simple, easy to understand story. The concept was interesting and something I haven't seen before.

Bob is a boo boo without a human. He looks to find somewhere to land, and finds a home with a young boy. This book is perfect for young children who love boo boos and fixing them with bandaids.

Bob the boo-boo draws a parallel to the Littlest Hobo, Bob is on the road looking for (adventure) a new place to settle down. On every stop Bob will make a new friend. Bob the boo-boo will only join you for a while as your boo-boo heals until Bob keeps moving on.

Kids get boo-boo's, so they'll relate. Kids love colourful bandages, so they'll love that. Talking boo-boo's/scabs are a little out there, but so are kids.

A super cute book about an adorable boo-boo who finds a home on a scraped knee. My kiddo loved the quirky story and illustrations, so I'll definitely grab it when it hits stores!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC ❤️

I was unsure on what to think about this book! haha. A book about a boo-boo?! My son saw this cover and immediately asked if we could read it. I'm so glad my request went through!

This is basically about a boo-book trying to find a place to live. He finds the perfect kid that's been hurt and then he slowly gets better. In my opinion, it's to make boo-boo's seem less scary! The illustrations were awesome and my kid loved this one. He asked me if we could buy it. :) I think that tells you everything you need to know!!

What a unique book. Children will love the story and empathize with Bob the boo-boo. The illustrations are lovely. Thank you Kids Can Press and NetGalley for the e-copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

What a sweet book to read to a child when they get hurt. I really enjoyed this one and smiled all through it. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.

This book was very good. The kids loved reading about bob the boo-boo and all his concerns and adventures. They loved that he found a friend and eventually the boo boo healed but he was loved while he was there. They loved learning how to care for theirselves.

Bob the Boo-Boo by Mélina Schoenborn is a delightful story about a boo-boo who finds a sweet little boy. The premise is so adorable that you almost wouldn't mind getting a boo-boo yourself! This book, aimed at children aged 3-6, tackles the common childhood experience of getting hurt and the process of healing, but in a gentle and whimsical way. Schoenborn's writing has a lovely cadence that's perfect for reading aloud at home or during story time. The illustrations by Sandra Dumais bring Bob and the little boy to life with playful artwork. The emotions she conveys through a boo-boo speak volumes about her talent. I have a feeling this is one of those books that children will remember fondly as adults. It's definitely going on my list for children's story hour!

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.
