Santa (and his little helpers) brought me many funny, happy and wonderful gifts. One of the sweetest (thank you, Elf M!) was a little book for me and my nephew to read together. It's all about happy animals and counting them.
I wasn't familiar with Sandra Boynton or her work earlier but these animals are just the cutest:"...and my piglet, known as Bob, of course."
" There's my rabbit, Bob, and his bunny wife, Bob"
"... and Bob the bird..."
Hello Bob!
Nice to meet you, Bob!
Hi sweet Bob!
Happy Tuesday!
Yours,
Mia

Hello dearest Elf M :)
I am so happy you took your new name in use immediately :) and it was given with much much love as your gift has been much treasured and smiled over these January days! Thank you so much, and thank you for the wonderful comment also!
Lovely week and many greetings from snowy Finland!

Oh Mia, I love all your BOB's. And now who is elf M?
Well, anyway, it looks like such a fun book to read with your nephew. I love reading to small children, now my granddaughters correct me if I make a mistake reading. hahaha
Have a lovely day in snowy Finland, soRobin❤ (from snowy Vermont)
Your little birdies are exquisite! Lovely colours too.
Hello sweet Robin,
Elf M is one of the dearest Santa's Little Helpers and dear, dear friend of mine!
Oh yes, I know just what you mean: You're tired, you try to skip a line or two and there you have it, the correction is immediate :)
Have a lovely day!

Hello humphreycumfycushion,
I'm happy to have you visiting me here! Thank you for your lovely comment, all three Bob's are sending some happy tweet-tweets your way!
Lovely Tuesday!
Yours,

Bob was my fathers name, he was Robert really but was always known as Bob! :) So I love the name and how wonderful to have so many animals named Bob including bunnies!!!
I love your new little Bob's too. :)

Dear Vivienne,
Your dear father is the greatest addition to today's Bob's! And I might just chosen the pages to show you and someone else in mind ;) you know, the pigs and bunnies...
Have a wonderful day!
Yours,
Mia
You know me too well Mia...I had a little squeal when I saw the piglet ;0) What a fab book, I really do love childrens' books... I need to wait for grandchildren now I suppose as no little ones left here. My dear son's middle name is Robert and as a little one we called him Bobby or Bob's as a nickname...much to his annoyance I still sometimes use it ;0) Your new Bob's are the sweetest ....I am sure they will fly straight out of your shop. Such cheerful colours too. Happy Tuesday my dear.

Sweetest Jane,
Yet one more precious Bob for today, your "little boy"! I wish there will be many little ones for you to read soon...And you'll be called grandma-Jane!
I said to Vivienne earlier that I chose these pages someone special(s) in mind... And you spotted it right away!
Happy Tuesday!
Yours,
Mia
Love this book and your pouches, Mia.
I have 2 Uncle Bob's(one on my Mom's side and one on my Dad's side).
It's a classic name here.
A big kiss to L.
Happy new week,

Reading to and with children is simply the best, and I'm sure they'll continue reading more later in life (fingers crossed). All the Bobs send their love, and we all wish you a happy week!
