I Must Have Bobo!

I Must Have Bobo! is a heartwarming and humorous picture book about a young boy named Willy and his absolute favorite toy, a sock monkey named Bobo. The story centers on the universal childhood experience of attachment to a comfort object and the challenge of sharing, especially when the 'sharer' is a playful, devious cat named Earl. With sparse, engaging text and expressive illustrations, this book gently explores themes of frustration, love for a treasured item, and the dynamics of living with pets. It's perfect for children aged 4-8 who are learning about sharing, dealing with sibling-like rivalry over possessions, or simply enjoy a sweet story about a boy and his cat.

When Willy woke up there was trouble. Where was Bobo? Willy needs Bobo. But, Earl the cat likes Bobo, too. A favorite toy is hard to share…even when it’s a sock monkey. With sparse text and a modern-nostalgic vibe, this retro-fun book about friends (sock monkeys) and frenemies (devious cats) is an ode to favorite toys everywhere. Oh, Earl! Leave Bobo alone.
