Bob E. Bear Goes Fishing Bob E. (pronounced Bobby) Bear is anxious to go fishing with his father and grandfather. His parents have been waiting for him to be old enough to manage the ride, the worms, and the fish. He's five now and Gram P. says that's when Daddy first fished. Now we'll see if he catches anything! Bob E. Bear was born one night when I was putting my sons to bed. They always wanted a story. On a whim I just started talking about a little bear named Bob E. From there, the stories just kept coming. Bob E. learns life lessons along the way. So did my boys! Sometimes children learn better from someone more like them. These books will hopefully help your little ones grow and open dialogues about what you hold dear!
