Big Bob, Little Bob
author: James Howe
illustrator: Laura Ellen Anderson
Despite the fact that they share a name, Big Bob and Little Bob are different. Big Bob likes trucks and throwing balls and being loud. Little Bob likes dolls and jingling bracelets and being quiet. No matter what they do, it is not the same. Could they possibly be friends despite these differences? In this 2018 Amelia Bloomer List Selection, James Howe and Laura Ellen Anderson beautifully depict the struggles and rewards that come when friendships are forged between different kinds of people—now out in paperback.
“A fine choice for very young children who don’t conform to gender stereotypes, and an example for all kids that differences can enrich rather than hinder friendships.” —School Library Journal
