The One and Only Bob

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Bob the dog has plenty of street smarts—and he’ll need them as he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. In this exciting sequel to her bestseller The One and Only Ivan, children’s author Katherine Applegate introduces us to her dynamic canine hero, who was a stray before he was adopted—and who loves to visit his old friends Ivan the gorilla and Ruby the elephant at the zoo down the street. When a dangerous hurricane hits, Bob has to help rescue his pals from the damaged zoo, and discovers a family he never knew he had. Applegate tells the whole lively story from Bob’s perspective—and his worldview is as funny and entertaining as it is wise. And who better to voice the precocious doggo’s story than Danny DeVito, who was born to play this smart, self-confident—and unexpectedly thoughtful—little scrapper? This is a great listen for the whole family, perfect for a long car trip or a lazy afternoon inside.
