Bobo, the Little Artist is a free, fully illustrated picture book for children ages 3–8. Bobo is a little crocodile who loves colour and drawing, so Mama sends him to the wise old fox's school to learn to paint. There is just one problem: his home is underwater, and every painting he carries back gets soaked. Bobo and Papa try a seashell, then big leaves, and nothing works, until a kind old turtle has an idea: an airtight jar. Soon the den becomes Bobo's very own art gallery. It is a gentle way to talk about creativity, trying again and asking friends for help. Download the PDF to read on any screen, or print it for story time.
