Ricky
and Bobo
REVIEW
An
excellent rhyming picture book for children ages 4-6 years old. Ricky and
Bobo is the second book in the collection of animals who live at the
Rescue Ranch. The adventure begins when Ricky the rabbit snuck out of the house
with his friend Bobo the mouse. While they think would be a simple quest, it
turns out into a dangerous venture.
First, the two friends encounter a swarm of buzzing bees. Then Ricky and Bobo have
trouble in the water when they try to return home. Ricky prays for his friend to
be saved and his prayers get answered. Ricky and Bobo learn an important
lesson, don’t ever be bad and sneak out of the house unless you have a good
friend like Bobo the Mouse.
Jimmy the Giraffe
REVIEW
| With a deep message and told in perfect rhyme, Jimmy the Giraffe gives a message of determination. With lovely illustrations, the happy Giraffe learns an important lesson: "How to be yourself." I recommend this book and the series of Mark Albini for ages 5-8 years old - K-3 graders. |

I’m reviewing this book as part of the Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2017 (1/27/17) is its fourth year and was founded by Valarie Budayr from Jump Into A Book and Mia Wenjen from PragmaticMom. Our mission is to raise awareness on the ongoing need to include kid’s books that celebrate diversity in home and school bookshelves while also working diligently to get more of these types of books into the hands of young readers, parents and educators.
Despite census data that shows 37% of the US population consists of people of color, only 10% of children’s books published have diversity content. Using the Multicultural Children’s Book Day holiday, the MCBD Team are on a mission to change all of that.
