Meet the Bobs and Tweets

This is the first book in the BOB AND TWEET series. The mob of Bobs are slobs, but one Bob (#7- Dean) is not a slob.The Bobs have been requested to move to a new neighborhood. They do not mind. The fleet of  Tweets are very neat, all but one Tweet (#7- Lou). The Tweets move, too. They move right next to the Bobs. After the Tweets clean, exercise, and do yoga, they decide to bicycle down to the swimming pool to swim 100 laps. After the Bobs finally wake up at noon, they decide to go to the swimming pool with their gear meant for the beach- jet ski and BBQ. The Bobs swamp the Tweets who are swimming laps. An argument arises. During the parents’ argument Lou Tweet meets Dean Bob. They discover they have been deceived by the same realtor as to where to move. Then, life guard Mark combs his hair, puts down his cell phone, divides the pool into two sections, and stops the families’ fighting with the Tweets on the right and the Bobs on the left.

” ‘Phew,’ says Dean Bob. ‘I am glad Mark helped out.

I get really stressed when my Bobs start to shout.’

‘I agree,’ says Lou Tweet. ‘I am glad Mark came through.

Most of all I am happy I got to meet you. ” (67)

Both families leave he pool to continue their opposing life styles, but Dean and Lou promise to see each other again tomorrow.

This story has nine short chapters, told in rhyme. The rhyme and zany illustrations are very reminiscent of Dr. Seuss’ style.

The chapter titles definitely state the main idea for each chapter.
