Let's Go, Bobby!

"Fantastic books for the ... kids on your list....Trace Bobby's scooter, helicopter, rocket adventures and more by following raised paths that stimulate babies' sensory play." -- Los Angeles Times "Wielockx knows how to engage a kinesthetic learner. Her variety of shapes mimic what you would except for the type of transportation. I had fun myself when I joined in. ESSENTIAL." -- Kiss the Book "A fun and definitely hands-on way to interact with reading....Get your finger ready, you and Bobby are about to zip zig-zag-zig-zag over the tall peaks....a wonderful book for kids who love cars, trains, planes, and other modes of transportation. The indented tracks provide the kind of fun that will make the book a favorite. Let's Go, Bobby! is also an excellent take-along book for outdoor activities and waiting times and would make a welcome gift." -- Celebrate Picture Books "In this cunning book Bobby goes on nine adventures in nine different kinds of vehicles.... On each of Bobby's adventures little children can join him by using their finger to follow the path that Bobby takes. Following the channels set into the pages children will go up and down, left and right, and round in circles." -- Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Reviews "This larger board book helps children with their finger dexterity as they trace over indented line paths throughout the book and they learn about different modes of transportation with the title character, Bobby the dog. Children can trace the curves of the waves as the boat sails along the sea and follow the loops that an airplane makes in the sky." -- Children's Book Review "As Bobby travels by different modes of transportation, the reader is invited along by tracing Bobby's path - a great idea for practicing fine motor skills for little ones. Bright bold colors and simple, clear illustrations are easy to see and follow as we join Bobby on his journey throughout his busy day." -- Amanda Hanson, librarian "A book and a game all in one! Young children who love things that go will enjoy playing along with helicopters, boats, racing cars and more as they follow the picture relief and join the adventure....A unique interactive book that stimulates fine motor skills and can be read over and over again." -- Sue Wallace, blogger "Very simple book to help develop fine motor skills in toddlers. Bobby wants to go on adventures. He goes in a train, boat, plane etc. On each page the reader or listener can trace the path with their finger (spirals, zigzag, circular and more) to help develop fine motor skills needed for future printing and writing. The illustrations are simple and adorable to attract the attention of young children. A great addition for a family library or preschool/kindergarten classroom." -- Carla Johnson-Hicks, elementary educator

Ruth Wielockx never imagined that she would become a writer and illustrator of children's books. She studied Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Leuven (Belgium) and Southampton (United Kingdom), and went on to get a degree in education. After years of teaching, Ruth realized that she really liked drawing and painting. She took this new passion and combined it with her love of children's books to begin a very successful career as an author and illustrator.
