Product Description
"A must-have title for any children who have ever felt less than enchanted with their diminutive status." - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
When you’re a tiny chimp like Bobo, it seems that everyone else is bigger than you. Luckily, Bobo’s pals let him climb on their shoulders to give him a taste of being tall, but what if the little guy clambers too high? In this tale of very few words — and very big heart — Jez Alborough turns a moment of high anxiety into a Mommy-and-Bobo reunion.

Tall Tale, 2008-07-08
This book is not the classic that Hug is, but it is more educational. The book involves Bobo comparing his height (as he stands on various things and animals) to the heights of other animals. In each case, he decides who is taller: Bobo or the other animal.
Spoiler alert (LOL)! As Bobo climbs on the tallest animal he finds (a giraffe), he falls. His mother catches him, so the ending of the story is similar to Hug.
Cute Book, 2008-05-13
To be honest, our (my husband & me) rate is little lower than "Hug" book. However, our kids love it. They like the illustrations of all the animals. It is very easy to understand these animals' facial expressions. Since we have been teaching our kids how we talk (communicate) our feelings, they are picking up pretty good feelings. Over all, it is still cute!
Fun to read, easy to understand the emotion and the relationship, 2008-02-20
Great, great book that benefits the child in many ways. On emotion and trust, it shows that parents will always be there for the child -- Bobo's mom ran to catch him when he was about to fall. My 1.8 years old child loves it when I simulate that I can football-catch a falling teddy bear, and especially prevent her from falling down in real life. The book also shows friendship between Bobo and the other animals.
Features a mommy, not a daddy, 2008-01-19
This is a cute book. Spoiler: it features the baby being happy to see mommy. So Daddy might feel left out (I guess many baby books are like this.)
Tall by Jez Alborough, 2008-01-08
We have an early toddler. She is 18 mos old, so Tall hasn't made the impression that the Book Hug did. She is more familiar with the concept of hugging and is just becoming aware of what Tall really means. Given a few more weeks, this should be a five star as well as Hug.
