Booklist - 02/15/2017 What better medicine for a bad cold is there than a little parental TLC? But when sick, miserable Louis calls for his “BOB!” in a “weird, all-wrong, stuffed-up voice,” he gets Bob, the slobbery dog. “NO!” he wheezes, “BOB! NOT BOB!” He doesn’t want “bedicine” either, or a “bubba bat,” or a “dap.” Even his mom is confused, but she knows what to do: climb in for a loving snuggle. In time, Louis gets better, so when he calls “BOB!” he actually wants his dog—but if his mom sometimes comes running, too, that’s not so bad. Real moms are likely to consider this last notion a nonstarter, and the plain English translations supplied for Louis’ nasal rants aren’t necessary, as the tale is preceded with the instruction to read it “as though you have the worst cold ever.” Still, the story makes a droll read-aloud, and in Cordell’s scribbly cartoon illustrations, the affection shared by Louis, his little sister, and their apparently single mom (all three brown-skinned)—and, of course, Bob—is palpable. - Copyright 2017 Booklist.
