I received this ARC from Netgalley for an honest review. Cute little book about Bobby. Great for reading with kids so that they can answer the questions. Would be fun as a read-aloud book.
This sturdy board book published first in Belgium and Holland encourages young readers to interact with the text. Bobby, the protagonist, gets to have all sorts of adventures as he rides his bike, sails his boat, and even flies a rocket, among other activities, before falling asleep. Although readers will enjoy all this travel, what makes this book particularly appealing and unique is how readers are encouraged to trace his path by moving their fingers along the cut-out parts of the pages. Thus, they can move their digits up and down along the mountains, in a spiral in the town square, and across the waves of an ocean. This is a great experience for developing visual acuity and motor skills as well as possibly nudging the youngster who reads the book to get up and move around a bit as well. I enjoyed this one, and I'm certain young readers will return to the book many times, drawn by the chance to follow along with Bobby on the colorful pages.
Bobby is apparently a dog who will ride any vehicle placed in front of him, and he’s always appropriately dressed for them. The crux of this book is that the reader—little kids, that is—has to use their finger to trace the route of the vehicles. Surprisingly enough, if you don’t mind your screen getting a bit dirty, it works almost as well on an e-book, though the tactility the author wants the kid to have is not the same. Still, it’s an entertaining little jaunt amongst vehicles, from bicycles to rockets. The race track, though. . . only in a demolition derby would you have a figure eight. 3.5 pushed up to 4/5
Very simple book to help develop fine motor skills in toddlers. Bobby wants to go on adventures. He goes in a train, boat, plane etc. On each page the reader or listener can trace the path with their finger (spirals, zigzag, circular and more) to help develop fine motor skills needed for future printing and writing. The illustrations are simple and adorable to attract the attention of young children. A great addition for a family library or preschool/kindergarten classroom. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
Let's go Bobby by Ruth Wielockx. A book and a game all in one! Young children who love things that go will enjoy playing along with helicopters, boats, racing cars and more as they follow the picture relief and join the adventure. Bobby is a dreamer. He dreams about flying a helicopter, going on a boat trip, driving fast in a racing car ... Will his dreams become reality? Join Bobby and follow the raised tactile routes with your fingers to have an exciting adventure! A unique interactive book that stimulates fine motor skills and can be read over and over again. My girls loved this book. They want me to get it so they can play. 5*. Netgalley and clavis publishing.
Bobby is off on all kinds of adventures. Join him as you explore the paths and follow along with your finger.
Originally published in Amsterdam, Wielockx knows how to engage a kinesthetic learner. Her variety of shapes mimic what you would except for the type of transportation. I had fun myself when I joined in.
This fun follow the path book is filled with brightly colored illustrations. It provides a wonderful way to support and enhance fine motor skills as your child follows Bobby as he tries out various modes of transportation. It is sure to delight if you have two young boys like I do who obsess over anything that flies or has wheels.
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
A very cute book that allows the child to interact with it and use some hand eye coordination. Throughout the pages there are mazes that a child can use their finger to maneuver. A great way to get them even more involved in reading.
Easy to read for beginner readers, vibrant pictures and engaging,
A nice slightly active bedtime book. Bobby the dog needs help flying around the moon, climbing the mountains, etc. And all that work is going to tucker him, and your little one out.
