This is a story taken from one of the television episodes of the ever-popular Bob the Builder. For those of you not familiar with Bob, he is a very popular cartoon builder who works in a place called Bobsville with his partner, Wendy, and a selection of talking machines.

The book begins with Bob making himself a bugle out of an old pipe which he finds whilst fixing a broken central heating system. He plans to practise playing as much as he can so that he can join a band.

Bob's playing is terrible, but no one wants to hurt his feelings by telling him so. He keeps the poor machines awake all night as he practises. Eventually the team resort to hiding the bugle so that they can have some peace, but disaster strikes when Roley rolls over the bugle by mistake and flattens it! Can Bob fix it? You'll have to read the book to find out!

The book is a small hardback, measuring 17 x 11.6 x 0.6 cm, and is 32 pages long.

'Bob's Bugle' is available from Amazon for its RRP of £2.50.

My boys have all enjoyed this book at one time or another. It's a very good quality little hardback for the money, and our copy is still in great condition after many reads. I would say that a child would need to be about two before they would be able to concentrate for the whole length of the story. However, there are bright pictures from the television series on each page which helps to keep their little minds from straying!

Summary: a good little read
