This is a cute little book that is made up of 3 short stories about Bobbo, a little bear cub.

In the first book he is being bullied about his curly hair and ask the other animals for help on how to make it straight so they don't make fun of him but in the end he learns to love it.

In the second book they help a bear who has lost his memory through an injury and reunite him with his family.

The third book is about a little boy that has been stolen from the bears - it is a bit dubious who they have a little boy to play with but let's just go with the story

The stories in my opinion are not suitable for very young children but may be suitable for older children if you explain to them about the bullying, the jokes played on Bobbo and the issue with the bear losing his memory and being injured and the theft/abduction of the little boy they have been playing with - for me the book was quite a weird one - the first story was ok, second and third really not for me and not one I would be reading with my daughter.

This title includes three short stories focused on self acceptance, caring for and helping others and sharing. The stories are a little disjointed. Random characters appear without introduction and the flow is often interrupted. I found those greatly detracted from the book. The illustrations are very good though. They were definitely the highlight of the book for me.

This title has lots of potential, but it has fine tuning to do before I'd recommend a purchase.

This was kind of cute! The young bears exploring could be a fun read for little ones. The illustrations were sweet. Writing seemed a bit stilted, but still nice messages in the story and the song was sweet!

This book contains three sweet bedtime stories for kids that teach them valuable lessons - about bullying, sharing things with others and helping those in need. The illustrations are lovely and probably my favourite part of the book (besides the great lessons for kids).

It is a book that has a lot of potential, however I still felt it was lacking when it came to storytelling - despite having great life lessons for the little ones. But I do not think the children will notice the few details that bothered me like mentioning a character but not introducing us to it first - although kids might ask who that character is and why it has such an impact on Bobbo, but they find out shortly in the future stories. There are more books with Bobbo, so maybe that's why - but you only need three words to introduce that character for new readers without bothering the old fans.

Now this one is very subjective, but jumping from one color to another mid sentence bothers me - although I liked that Bobbo's name was cursive to seem curly like his hair.

I think this book could be improved, but even so I am sure a lot of children will really enjoy Bobbo and his adventures!

Cute early chapter book that's at a reading level where I imagine the parent is reading to the child, with the child starting to learn some of the words. I like that it has different fonts and text color throughout for Bobbo's name, when people are talking, etc. A few simple stories with easy to understand concepts. I especially like the one about Bobbo trying to make his curly fur less curly and realizing that his curly fur is beautiful just the way it is.

3 stars.

This was very cute and I definitely think it's one that my younger self would have really enjoyed. It has 3 short and enjoyable stories about a little bear cub named Bobbo. Plus at the end there is a song about him. It's quite a good little book for younger readers.

The little Bear Bobbo is always getting into something. I felt like these were a different spin on some tall tales or fairy tales and there was always some kind of moral. I thought they were cute and I was laughing out loud. A cute set of stories for children to enjoy
