Bookroo's summary

Bobo, the little chimp, eagerly embraces bath time with a joyful 'Yes!' but stubbornly resists bedtime with a firm 'No.' As his patient animal friends rally to change his mind, will Bobo's attitude shift? Dive into this delightful tale of bedtime antics and discover if Bobo's 'No' can turn into a 'Yes' with a little help and a lot of splashing fun.

From the publisher

YES! The cuddly hero of HUG and TALL is back! Bobo’s mother has no trouble getting her little chimp to take a bath. “Yes!” he shouts. But when it’s bedtime for Bobo, he responds with a definite “No.” In this tale of two words, it takes some patient animal friends and plenty of splashing to alter one contrary little chimp’s attitude. By popular demand, Jez Alborough brings back the beloved Bobo in a charming bedtime story for every preschooler who loves chimps – and every parent who could use a welcome break from “No!”
