I'm Not Bobby

A young boys named Bobby hears his name being called. He pretends that he is not Bobby, but different kinds of animals. Then he dreams hie has a rocket and goes to the moon by his self. He's happy on the moon at first, but then he gets hungry so he goes home. Before he entered the house he turned into part lion. ( )

Bobby doesn’t want to go home, but his mom keeps calling, “BOBBY!” But he’s not listening, because he’s not Bobby. He’s a lion! An airplane! A dinosaur! As his family runs after him, Bobby becomes a horse, a race car, and then a rocket ship that takes him to outer space. His mom says he’ll come home when he’s hungry and wants to watch TV, but Bobby continues to rocket into the sky. Until he realizes that space is lonely and he’s hungry and he wants to watch TV. So he turns into a lion and goes back home.

The free, loose illustrations pop to the front of clean white pages. If you’re a fan of The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (one of my favorite books of all time), then you’ll recognize Feiffer’s classic style. Bobby’s mother never appears in the illustrations; much like the adults in The Peanuts you only hear/see her voice as bold, black writing on the page.

This is about a boy that is being called by his family memebers but pretends to be anything else beside himself, such as, a lion, dinosaur, and a monster. He runs away and escapes different memebers of his family trying to catch him. But he eventually gets hungry and goes back home, not as himself but a a lion. This is a fun book about a little boy's imagination. ( )

According to Bobby, he isn't Bobby he is many different things from a lion, a rocket ship, even a monster, but when Bobby gets hungry he listens to his mothers plea to get him to eat dinner. ( )
