My son is 2 1/2 and a huge Bob the builder fan. Scoop is one of his favorite characters so this book was an instant hit. He gets so excited everytime we read it "can we rescue? yes we can" I would suggest this book for any young bob fan.

A big storm rages through the night and causes lots of damage. Bob and Wendy get the calls and they head out fix things.

At farmer Pickle's, a couple of the trucks notice the pond has to be cleaned out. But before they can get started, Pilchard the cat climbs a shaky tree and gets stuck upside-down right over the pond. The trucks rally with Bird to find Bob and Wendy. But in the end all is well.

The book uses stills from the television show to illustrate the story. Each page has one picture that fills the whole page except the bottom where the text is. The text is a little clumsy. It reads like a transcript of the script with 'said Bob', 'said Muck', etc. stuck at the end of each line. But while a little clumsy to read the first time or two, the kids seem to really like it.

There's not a lot I really have to comment about this book. It's a cute extension of the Bob videos. My 2 year old loves to watch the movies, and likewise loves to look through this book. Now granted, a two year old won't really take the time to let me actually read it to him at this point, but he loves to look at and point out what he calls the, "Big Trucks".

If your child loves the 'Bob' movies, they'll love thumbing through this book!

Arrived very quickly and in good repair for a used product.

This book is quite cute. Basically, a storm blows through down, knocking down things, and the team has to gear up to rebuild the town. Bob goes one direction and part of the other team goes out to Farmer Pickle's farm to help clean up the pond. However, when Lofty tries to lift out a fallen tree, Pilchard was in it and the branch breaks, dangling her over the pond. Bird comes to the rescue and goes after Bob and Scoop to get Pilchard out of the tree. Scoop saves the day and rescues her and in the end, she's safely purring in the chair in Bob's living room.

This book is particularly good if you have a large storm and you have to explain what's going on in the news. It's sorta strange how we got this book the day we had a very large storm here and it made all the difference in explaining what was going on. Bob having to go out and repair a lot of problems really helped to explain all the trucks, etc. that were around fixing things. Highly recommend this book!

My name is Dores Pampers and I have read this book 100s of times.
I am 13, and it is one of the best books in the world. I love it so much, and you will, too!
