Calling all readers! Our first library activity of the year is officially here, and it’s time to get creative.
Your mission is to show us how you found Bob in the Wild! Whether you’re reading under a tree, at the park, in a cozy fort, or even at the grocery store—we want to see it!
How to participate:
Snap a pic of you and your family reading Bob in a fun or unusual spot.
Post your photo to our official BVE Library Padlet Wall.
Check back to see all the wild places Bob has been spotted!
We can't wait to see all of our amazing readers in action. Happy hunting! 🐾📚
