Book Description
When Willy wakes up there is trouble. Where is Bobo? Willy needs Bobo. But Earl the cat likes Bobo, too. A favorite toy is hard to share…especially when it’s a sock monkey. Because sharing is caring. Sharing is great. But you know what’s best (according to Earl the cat)? Not sharing at all! With sparse text and a modern-nostalgic vibe, this retro-fun book tells it like it is when it comes to sharing a favorite toy. Oh, Earl! Leave Bobo alone.

Book Description
Blistering heat from a water reflected sun, constant bouncing of the ocean's seas, inexperienced to expert in one fell swoop, a man leaves port for his dream voyage only to find the realities of his nightmare. This is not a book of romantic idealism. It is a factual account of the raw material that makes or breaks the man. Don't miss the compelling read that Birney Jarvis thrusts upon us. Follow his life in the surreal, fiction-like journey that he experienced many years ago. Life takes the measure of a man. Either he is up for the journey; or he falls short of Life's expectations. See if Birney fits into this picture.
