Bob’s Best ever Friend
By Simon Bartram
I initially picked this book based off of the cover. From looking at the cover I could tell this book had something to do with outer space, this peaked my interest so I picked it up. When I began reading the book I was instantly drawn to the illustrations on the page. The colors used are bright and bold, which contrasted against the dark background of the outer space illustrations. There is a lot of detail in the pictures. This could be very fun for children to see and point out the different things they see on each page.
The plot of the story is about Bob travels to space to entertain people who are taking tours of the moon. Bob’s friends were away Bob was very lonely. In order not to be lonely Bob decides that he needs to make a bester ever friend, and what would make a good best ever friend? A pet of course! So Bob goes on the search for the perfect pet and finally stumbles about one in outer space. The book is filled with lots of funny details. I think that this book is a lot of fun to read as a child or an adult. It would be a perfect book to read when discussing friendships or even just for fun.
