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.

Cute. Adorable. Just beautiful.
Loved the story through and through. Illustrations are really cute.

Thank you NetGalley! What a different, yet unique book. Children will love the story and empathize with Bob the boo-boo. The illustrations are great!

Bob the Boo-Boo is a picture book about a boo-boo looking for a place to be. He finds a boy who fell from his bike and they are both taken care of while the boy heals. It's a slightly odd premise, but the illustrations are adorable and it helps teach that injuries can heal if they are taken care of properly.

Thanks to Kids Can Press and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

i have no words for this book! this is one of the best story for toddlers that are learning about their wounds & boo boo's and it depicts that you shouldn't be scared of them they just wanted a home.

me and my kids read this 4 times!!!!'

This is a delightful picture that personifies your boo-boos. Bob is a boo-boo searching for a new home. Each place he approaches is not right but when he meets the boy, he settles in. Sadly, boo-boos cannot stay forever, even though they form a strong friendship.

Kids will be delighted by this story, I even read it with a kindergartener that happened into the library. The simple illustrations make it super engaging for young children and the dialogue makes it easy to keep adults engaged.

I would recommend adding this to any library that serves children between 3 and 7, whether it be school, public, or a home collection. I think it is worth adding to my elementary library!

Thank you to Net Galley and Kids Can Press for the DRC. All opinions are my own with the influence of an adorable kindergartner!

An absolutely adorable story. This book is a fun little jaunt about a boo-boo looking for a home and creating a friendship with a little boy. Hidden in the story is also great advice on how to care for a boo-boo, so it heals well.

Thank you Kinds Can Press publishing, Mélina Schoenborn, and Sandra Dumais for this ARC of Bob the Boo-Boo.

This was a very cute story about injuries and a simplified explanation on the healing. My toddler enjoyed the book as I read it to them and the art was well done. I do disagree that the old man is too old for a boo-boo though.

The illustrations are absolutely stunning, Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!
