This book is supercute – since I read it first, I have read it so many times over already. The kids love it too and cannot resist returning to read it. Beep the robot and Bah the goat, along with the many other animals they meet on their adventure are delightful.
A missing sock – that is something everyone is familiar with; who has not wondered where a single sock from each of our pairs has vanished to? Well, in this story, when Bah finds one single sock early one morning and goes to his fr More...

Beep and Bah by James Burks
* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

Beep and Bah take off on an adventure to look for a missing sock. Their journey takes them through many twists and turns and even underwater. They visit with lots of different animals but still can’t figure out who the sock belongs to. In the end, they find themselves at the end of the road and have to go back.

This book was cute but it didn’t hold Lilly’s intere More...

In this fun graphic novel, the duo of Beep, a know-it-all accident prone robot, and Bah, a goat who doesn't have much to say, go on an adventure to find the matching pair to a sock. Along the way they (mostly Beep) face challenges and obstacles.

This fun graphic novel's drawings look like a cartoon and will grab readers instantly and will make them laugh out loud (specifically the last page).

(Also a great book to teach onomatopoeia and types of animals including the Giant Sq More...

When Bah finds one white sock with red stripes, it's Beep who suggests they go on an adventure that will bring them in the end to the missing, matching mate. No worries if they must go over hill and valley, through quicksand, or even under water where the myth of giant sea creatures is either proved or disproved (no spoilers here folks). Animal friends are joyfully rendered in Burks' quirky animation background style. A square pig is not to be missed early on in this fun picture book that will d More...

This one is bizarre in a good way. I'm a little unsure of the read-aloud potential, because the illustrations might be too small, but they are great. The blocky animals and quirky, upbeat robot are great fun, and the punchline on the last page will keep kids giggling throughout.

Beep the robot and his friend Bah the goat seek out the missing mate of a sock. Their adventure is told through colorful sequential art. The wild landscapes and personality filled animal characters create a comic set up for the talkative Beep. Young readers will enjoy this silly story and fun illustrations.

Grades K-2. Picture book format graphic novel. Beep finds a single sock laying on the ground and asks Bah if he knows who it belongs to. They journey up mountains, down valleys, across rivers, until they can travel no more. A funny twist at the end is not what you expect. From the author of Gabby and Gator (one of our favorites).

The illustrations are reministant of the style of Sponge Bob. A combination of a picture book and of a comic book, BEEP AND BOP is unique in a way that will entice kids, especially boys to read.

Odd, yet entertaining book about a goat and a robot who go on an "adventure" as they search for the lost mate of a tube sock. What's not to love? Did I mention it was odd?
