Praise for Chez Bob : " Chez Bob is beyond glorious. Seriously: It's a perfect book." -- Sandra Boynton * "Shea puts a fresh spin on the tale of a villain reformed by spoofing contemporary rhetoric around the communal good: as a "positive role model for the birds I'm going to eat," Bob even coaches a local bird basketball team. Shea's always-striking art has a marvelous lightness here, thanks to the bevy of bird characters and a cheery tropical palette, making for a book that's funny a lovely to look at, too." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review * "Readers will laugh at this funny story. kids will cheer for the heartwarming ending. Appropriately droll illustrations perfectly match the lively shenanigans and depict Bob with a toothy, expressive mug. This is one to devour.

" -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Delightfully mischievous. Terrifically funny and surprisingly sweet. The splashy illustrations are distinctive and detailed, perfectly suiting the silly tone. Visit Chez Bob with no reservations." -- Booklist , starred review * "A fabulously fun read-aloud.Readers will come away giggling but will also retain a renewed sense of the importance of kindness and belonging. Laugh-out-loud funny, sweet, and a surefire hit for story time." -- School Library Journal , starred review "Playful details in the art, varied perspectives, and effective page-turns enhance the story's humor.

From its punny, self-referential appetizer of a title (flip the author's name) to its sweet ending, Chez Bob offers a story-time feast." -- Horn Book "The deadpan humor will be appreciated even by older siblings who just might be glancing over younger shoulders." -- BCCB "One of the funniest picture books of the year." -- Parents Magazine "Slyly funny in both story and illustration." -- The Boston Globe.
