Staff Picks: Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder has probably the most catchy kids theme tune of all time. Except for perhaps, the Munch Bunch. Or Danger Mouse. Or Bananas in Pyjamas. Or Pokemon...Actually most kids shows come complete with catchy theme tunes don’t they?! Bob is a builder in a rural English village. Together with his colleague Wendy and his talking work vehicles, Bob helps solve everyones’ problems with his catch-phrase “Can we fix it?!” echoed panto style by the audience shouting back “Yes we can” long before a certain US President thought to ask the same question. Bob the Builder is now a classic children's show that generations of kids will reminisce over in the same way I do about Danger Mouse.

The Library has heaps of ‘Bob’ related items ranging from DVDs of the series, to picture books, board books and puzzles. Our Bob the Builder items can be found in the Children’s Zone on the First Floor of the Central Library and at our Branch libraries
