An adorable book about trying to find the perfect pillow to sleep with. Take a journey through the jungle meeting cute animals and having silly things happen when Bobo tries to find something comfortable to sleep on. The illustrations are vibrant and the ending is sweet.

Well this was a very attractive book for the very young, but I'm quite sure there are better stories out there. Young Bobo can't get to sleep properly in his tree, so he goes off in search of things to help him sleep – only to pick on the most inappropriate animals to expect assistance from. The ending of the plot is obvious a mile off, but the fact the whole book is a metaphor for asking permission in a post-MeToo era kind of way was really not expected. So on one hand this wants to have the appearance of a calming lullaby and directional for getting kiddies to sleep, and on the other it's something to keep you awake for hours discussing permission and politeness when possibly crossing boundaries. Odd.

Bobo the Orang-Utan can't sleep, everything is uncomfortable. So he aproaches several animals ,seeking a pillow, but forgets to ask permisson to get so close and forgets about personal space. He learns the hard was when the little elephant does the same to him.
Very pretty illustrations in this book, beautiful colours and very sweet looking animals. The message is well put and I like how at the end of the book there is instructions to so projects.

Such a cute story. I love finding hidden gems on here with children’s books. I have always loved reading and want to share that with my son. Finding books like these makes it so easy. I also get to keep a copy on my kindle so I can read it multiple times. I hope I find more like this. It sends a very good message.
