CAN THEY RESCUE? YES, THEY CAN! Oh, no! Pilchard's in trouble when she climbs a tree and ends up dangling over a duck pond. Bob must come to her rescue, but no one knows where he is. Now it's up to Bird and Scoop to save the day!Scoop Saves the Day (Bob the Builder) Arrived very quickly and in good repair for a used product.Very cute book! Great for talking about what happens after a storm This book is quite cute. Basically, a storm blows through down, knocking down things, and the team has to gear up to rebuild the town. Bob goes one direction and part of the other team goes out to Farmer Pickle's farm to help clean up the pond. However, when Lofty tries to lift out a fallen tree, Pilchard was in it and the branch breaks, dangling her over the pond. Bird comes to the rescue and goes after Bob and Scoop to get Pilchard out of the tree. Scoop saves the day and rescues her and in the end, she's safely purring in the chair in Bob's living room. This book is particularly good if you have a large storm and you have to explain what's going on in the news. It's sorta strange how we got this book the day we had a very large storm here and it made all the difference in explaining what was going on. Bob having to go out and repair a lot of problems really helped to explain all the trucks, etc. that were around fixing things. Highly recommend this book!
If your child loves the 'Bob' movies, they'll love thumbing through this book!The Big Storm A big storm rages through the night and causes lots of damage. Bob and Wendy get the calls and they head out fix things. At farmer Pickle's, a couple of the trucks notice the pond has to be cleaned out. But before they can get started, Pilchard the cat climbs a shaky tree and gets stuck upside-down right over the pond. The trucks rally with Bird to find Bob and Wendy. But in the end all is well. The book uses stills from the television show to illustrate the story. Each page has one picture that fills the whole page except the bottom where the text is. The text is a little clumsy. It reads like a transcript of the script with 'said Bob', 'said Muck', etc. stuck at the end of each line. But while a little clumsy to read the first time or two, the kids seem to really like it.
