For the perfect bedtime story, the inimitable Bobo the chimp returns
in another book of very few words -- and very big heart.
It's bedtime for Bobo, but the little chimp isn't ready to stop playing
for the day. So he hitches a ride on an obliging giraffe, only to be
carried back to his mother when she calls. His mother tells him again to
stay, but Bobo can't help catching a lift on the back of a turtle to see
what's across the pond and on top of a nearby hill. Now it's getting
dark, and he's all alone, with no idea how to get home. "Mommy!" Every
mischievous child who has ever resisted bedtime will take comfort in
this lighthearted ode to the bond between mother and child -- and the
community of friends that surrounds them.
