This book is a story about a young boy who loved to read he would read books constantly. But as a side effect he would become the characters in the book and would never answer to his own name. At the end of the story he got into a scary situation and had to give out his name for safety reasons.

thought that this book was a real inside into a childs mind and how somethimes they dont understand why its wrong to do what they were doing. I thought i could connect to the moral of this book, but not the exact situation

As a classroom extension I am going to ahve my class design a safety chart about what to do on different situations like Bobby experienced. Then i am goin to have them write in their journal about what they would do if they were Bobby.

This cute book written years ago is about a boy who was lost and would not say his name. This book is about talking to strangers and how when he was lost he wouldn't say his name. Good story to teach youngsters about stranger danger and when its ok to talk to them.
