A funny, easy-to-read picture book about Bob the dachshund, who jumps up on a bed, tosses everything off of it, and musses up the covers to hunker down for a day-long nap. It's the perfect spot for him, until Bob realizes Someone is watching him. That Someone turns out to be a cat, who then jumps up on the bed to join him. And it turns out her perfect spot is on top of Bob, once she finishes licking, patting, and positioning herself on top of him to settle down for a nap. A funny story told completely in short, declarative, understated sentences and cartoon-style digital illustrations that add a great deal of humor. (Ages 3-6)

Bob the dog doesn't mind hard work when it means he can reward himself with a nap. But Someone is watching him sleep! Hopefully they will just go away if Bob lies really still. But Someone, who happens to be a cat, has other things in mind.

Up on Bob is a humorous tale about sharing, working hard--and sleeping even harder. With irresistibly sly illustrations and pitch perfect pet dynamics, Geisel Honor-winning author-illustrator Mary Sullivan tells a sweet tale of friendship with a fresh new spin on the age-old cat-and-dog rivalry.
