Big Bob, Little Bob
What's This Book About
It’s not easy to become friends with someone who is nothing like you–but surprising things can happen when you give it a try. Despite the fact that they share a name, Big Bob and Little Bob are different. Big Bob likes trucks and throwing balls and being loud. Little Bob likes dolls and jingling bracelets and being quiet. No matter what they do, they do not do it the same. Could they possibly be friends despite these differences? With humor and tenderness, James Howe and Laura Ellen Anderson beautifully depict the struggles and rewards that come when friendships are forged between different kinds of people.

The Creatives Behind the Book
James Howe is the author of more than ninety books for young readers, including the modern classic Bunnicula and its highly popular sequels. In 2001, Howe published The Misfits, which was the inspiration for the national movement known as No Name-Calling Week (NoNameCallingWeek.org), an event observed by thousands of middle and elementary schools annually. There are three companion novels to The Misfits: Totally Joe (2005), Addie on the Inside (2011), and Also Known as Elvis (2014). Howe’s many other books for children from preschool through teens frequently deal with the acceptance of difference and being true to oneself. Visit him online at JamesHowe.com.
Laura Ellen Anderson’s successful collaboration with Boxer Books has resulted in five adorable board books: Kittens and Puppies (both published in 2014) and Bunnies and Chicks (both published in 2015), and now Snow Babies. Laura is also the creator of the regular comic strip “Evil Emperor Penguin,” a weekly story comic for kids and adults alike. (Bio via Sterling Fall 2018 Catalog.)
