Critics Review
“Flashy, funny artwork suits the silly story perfectly, and there are laughs on every page. Another delectable dining option in the Chez Bob domain.”–Booklist“The book’s zany humor will have kids and their adults giggling…. A strong follow-up to the first book and an absolutely delightful choice for story time or an elementary school classroom read-aloud.”–School Library Journal“Skilled use of color and perspective throughout effectively conveys mood and plays up the overall silliness…. This satisfying second course will be a crowd pleaser.” –Horn Book“A high-energy introduction to ethical internet use.”–Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Chez Bob:
“Chez Bob is beyond glorious. Seriously: It’s a perfect book.” –Sandra Boynton
* “Shea puts a fresh spin on the tale of a villain reformed by spoofing contemporary rhetoric around the communal good: as a “positive role model for the birds I’m going to eat,” Bob even coaches a local bird basketball team. Shea’s always-striking art has a marvelous lightness here, thanks to the bevy of bird characters and a cheery tropical palette, making for a book that’s funny a lovely to look at, too.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review
* “Readers will laugh at this funny story… kids will cheer for the heartwarming ending. Appropriately droll illustrations perfectly match the lively shenanigans and depict Bob with a toothy, expressive mug. This is one to devour.” –Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* “Delightfully mischievous…. Terrifically funny and surprisingly sweet. The splashy illustrations are distinctive and detailed, perfectly suiting the silly tone. Visit Chez Bob with no reservations.” –Booklist, starred review
* “A fabulously fun read-aloud…Readers will come away giggling but will also retain a renewed sense of the importance of kindness and belonging. Laugh-out-loud funny, sweet, and a surefire hit for story time.” –School Library Journal, starred review
“Playful details in the art, varied perspectives, and effective page-turns enhance the story’s humor…. From its punny, self-referential appetizer of a title (flip the author’s name) to its sweet ending, Chez Bob offers a story-time feast.” –Horn Book
“The deadpan humor will be appreciated even by older siblings who just might be glancing over younger shoulders.” –BCCB
“One of the funniest picture books of the year.” –Parents Magazine
“Slyly funny in both story and illustration.” –The Boston Globe
