4.5 stars. This was so wholesome and heart-warming! It didn't pack quite the emotional punch of 'The One and Only Ivan', but I still really loved it.

Such a great follow up to The One and Only Ivan. The audio with Danny DeVito as Bob is fantastic.

I am so happy to dive into Bob's adventure! Plus it was super cute to see everyone that I loved all over again and exciting to meet some new characters! I've also really enjoyed Bob and Ivan's friendship so when I could get more of it - I didn't hesitate a second to dive into this book.

The One and Only Bob features a unexpected tornado that kind of flips their lives upside down. When they get reunited, I was just so happy but it was also bittersweet. Bob's only concern is Ruby and Ivan. So when he finds them it almost broke my heart a little bit. Yes, Ruby was fine but Ivan was in a bit of trouble. Oh, and that's not the only thing going wrong at the zoo either.

Bob's adventure was really cute and it made me appreciate him and all the other animals a lot more in this book. Each character was great on their own but together they were more amazing. I definitely enjoyed this little book and I'm hoping that there's going to be another editions. Maybe Ruby's?
