SIMPLE LOGIC LEARNING!!!

I read this to my 19month granddaughter and she loved it! We really enjoyed saying Think First and the bubbles at the end was a great treat! We will read many more times I’m sure! The illustrations were amazing too!

Perfect children's book teaching them to stop and think first. I read to my great nephew, and he loved it. He knew what would happen before I turned the page.

What is Splorp? I've never heard this word.

I like how Bobo the monster in the end took a deep breath and then thought about what he was going to do with the bubbles.

A cute story about Bobo, a red, furry creature. In this book, he learns about making decisions and how to stop, think, and then act. Perfect book for teaching kids it's ok to take their time and think through things to avoid trouble.
