The One and Only Bob, by Katherine Applegate

4.0

This story is a wonderful follow-up to The One and Only Ivan - only this time the narrator is Ivan’s best friend: a mutt named Bob. This story was a wonderful, child friendly exploration of forgiveness, trust, and connection with others and with oneself. A must read for children and adults struggling with baggage that skews their perception of themselves and others. I loved this story. “Ivan and I sigh. It’s exhausting, all this responsibility, this worry. This love.”
