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.
