Big Bob, Little Bob by James Howe
5.0
This book focuses on Gender Roles and norms. Big Bob and Little Bob have the same names, but they are very different. They have to learn how to get along. Then a girl moves in and they have to learn to get along too. Basically, you can play with dolls if you like dolls and you don't have too if you don't like dolls, it does not matter if you are a boy or a girl. This is one of the last things James has published I think.
The story is short and sweet with a great little message. I wish there had been more stuff like this in the 80s - there was not. Gender roles were pretty solid back then from media.
The nephew enjoyed this book. He gave it 5 stars. The niece didn't read it. The nephew like Big Bob's way of always knocking down things in the book like a block fort. He laughed.
The art is wonderful. I love the art work. I will keep my eye on Laura.
