About this title

Synopsis

Living with her father, Hob, under Billy Que's bed, Bobbin Dustdobbin is forced to match wits with Billy and the five bad boys, who decide to sweep Billy's house as a birthday present. By the author of Five Bad Boys, Billy Que, and the Dustdobbin.

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-PapaHob is mighty proud of his daughter, Bobbin Dustdobbin, who has the form of a dust kitten and the personality of a sprite. She takes care of "...things close to the floor, so she knew about every leak, creak, drip, draft, crack,...in Billy Que's house." But Bobbin is not daring. She hates the broom, and doesn't trust the master of the house, because he owns it (not that he ever uses it). When Billy Que's birthday catalyzes the possible cleaning of his house, Bobbin takes courage and takes action. This lively, folksy picture book features ink-line and watercolor cartoons (primarily in dusty hues) loaded with character, and pages that use white space to advantage. The fantastic Dustdobbin family is contrasted with the five bad boys (a nicely multicultural crew) who come to celebrate with their friend. Patron's language has the rhythm and overstatement of a tall tale, and the effect is exuberant. As with many folktales, there's a message here too: young people, in taking responsibility for themselves, are ready to grow. A treat for story time or independent readers.
