**Geisel Honor winner Mary Sullivan humorously and deftly delivers a sweet spin on cat-and-dog rivalry. Perfect for fans of Kelly DiPucchio and Vera Brosgol.**

Bob the dog doesn't mind hard work when it means he can reward himself with a nap. But _Someone_ is watching him sleep! Hopefully they will just go away if Bob lies really still. But _Someone_, who happens to be a cat, has other things in mind.

_Up on Bob_ is a humorous tale about sharing, working hard--and sleeping even harder. With irresistibly sly illustrations and pitch perfect pet dynamics, Geisel Honor-winning author-illustrator Mary Sullivan tells a sweet tale of friendship with a fresh new spin on the age-old cat-and-dog rivalry.
