Dewey Bob, by Judy Schachner From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—For a young raccoon, Dewey Bob has loads of character. Despite a plethora of hobbies and amusing predilections, from collecting buttons to being "as clean as the beans are green," and a knack for "decoratin'," Dewey Bob finds himself lonely when he strikes out on his own. Fortunately, his inventiveness comes in handy when he meets a kitten who can't walk, scoring him a friend. With fresh colors, handwritten lettering, and lush textures reminiscent of Melissa Sweet's work, the mixed-media illustrations fairly glow with endearing whimsy. Inspirational quotes and lively poems are integrated deftly into the images. However, the charm of the illustrations doesn't fully extend to the text. The story has a few too many ideas in it to fill out a traditional story arc, and the writing is a tad rambly. The down-home country dialect may delight listeners with its playful phrasing but may also pose challenges as a read-aloud. VERDICT This sweet, homespun (if rather long-winded) story will appeal to Schachner's many Skippyjon Jones fans and will introduce a new character to the canon.—Erin Reilly-Sanders, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI
Review "With his tiny, earnest eyes, and huge head, Dewey is downright adorable, and Schachner’s skillful layering of watercolor and pencil textures with photo collage gives the story a homespun, scrapbooked feel." —Publishers Weekly“The mixed-media illustrations fairly glow with endearing whimsy… This sweet, homespun…story will appeal to Schachner’s many Skippyjon Jones fans and will introduce a new character to the canon.” —School Library Journal “The illustrations are captivating…they are a joy to sit and gaze at, making the story so much more enjoyable. All ages can enjoy Dewey Bob, his antics, and his adventure.” —School Library Connection "Schachner’s folksynarrative, full of charming couplets in speech bubbles from Dewey, is well matched by her delightfullyjumbled collage illustrations, combining snippets of paper and photographs with soft, gentle watercolorfigures. Little ones will love poring over Dewey’s collections to find treasures, and the heartwarming text...makes for a spirited read-aloud." —Booklist

By Celeste Pewter I love picture books that explore different perspectives and the broadening of one's world view, and that's exactly what you get with the delightful Dewey Bob.Judy Schachner introduces us to Dewey Bob, a young racoon who has outgrown his family pants. He sets out on his own, moving into an old oak tree and collecting objects and random bric-a-brac along the way. However, Dewey Bob soon realizes that while the experience of collecting objects is lovely, he would love to have a friend as well...Schachner's story is a melodic tale, full of whimsical rhyming sentences that sounds like singing when read out loud. Those melodic sentences are made even better by the wonderful themes of the story; Dewey Bob's journey is both an adventure story for a young raccoon setting to find his way out in the world, but also a tale about getting to know yourself.Schachner shows that even though Dewey Bob is continuing to enjoy collecting and cleaning the items that he's found, just having physical objects isn't enough. He also feels lonely and would like a friend. It's a subtle reminder that it's okay to explore new interests, including new friends.And while Dewey Boby's attempts to get friendship have unexpected results, he eventually does make a friend that reinforces the idea that some of the best friendships are built on people who genuinely understand each other's quirks, and love without agenda.Schachner's story is accentuated by her colorful drawings. As another reviewer pointed out, Schachner utilizes a variety of art materials for each picture, which not only matches the theme of the story, but helps each page vibrate with energy and joy.Bottom line: This is a great book about learning what you want for yourself, and how to be a good friend.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Delightful! By Hello Happy Dewey Bob is a sweet story about a raccoon who loves to collect buttons, experiences, and more. But when he leaves home and tries to collect friends, he learns that “no collection is complete without a friend.” I think I most enjoyed the clever and colorful illustrations, which feature watercolors, inks, pencils, torn-out printed materials, and other collage elements, to create artistic illustrations.The artwork mirrors the story, as the raccoon takes his newly found-objects and transforms them into sculptured artworks of his own. Yet it’s only when he discovers a lonely, handicapped kitten, and uses his treasures to create a sort of wheelchair that he finally finds a friend. It’s a lovely book which my children and I enjoy looking through again and again, discovering new delights each time.The hard-bound book itself is exceptionally well-made, with premium printing on the dust jacket and throughout. Further, Dewey Bob includes an audio CD, which I play in the car while the author’s gentle Southern accent adds richness to the lovely tale, and my daughter pages along in the book.

I have a family of raccoons that visit my backyard wildlife habitat, and I just had to have this book, pre-ordered and worth the wait. You just never know what those buttons you collect in a jar may ultimately find a use for in the most unique ways.
