Editorial Reviews

A charming children's picture book masterfully illustrated by the author. Sabin gives young readers a folksy tale that also offers important life lessons, such as being self-sufficient and hardworking, but also introduces children to the concepts of tragedy, prejudice and the unexpected kindness of strangers. The illustrations are exquisite and original. Wonderfully life-affirming, Nobbin, Bobbin & Cobb has plenty of spirit, color and character to engage even the youngest of readers.
