Stated First edition, dated. Tight, clean, flat, square, sharp and crisp book in lightly wrinkled DJ with a bit of sun-tone to the edges. "Someone's calling Bobby. I'm not Bobby. I'm a lion." Bobby's parents are trying to get his attention, but Bobby is something else. For example, he's a monster, an airplane, a dinosaur. Anything but Bobby. It's not long before Bobby turns himself into an eagle soaring away with Mom, Dad, and every other grown-up in his life chasing after him. But after a daring escape into outer space, Bobby gets hungry and returns to Earth to claim his dinner" This hilarious escape story rings true to every child's struggle for independence--not to mention a full tummy.
