Now Bob is a dog, or so it's been said, with long pointed ears and a short, pointed head. Whenever Bob is out running errands or helping a friend, he wears his favorite blue jacket with patches. Then one day, Bob and his friend get knocked down by a running Thimmigg (Thimmiggs don't like standing still, and they love to run. They have six knees on each of their five legs, wow. They are speedy!) Bob is quite upset; Thimmiggs do not even apologize! Thimmiggs refuse to see or hear anyone in blue. Despite shouting and waving his arms about, Bob cannot get the Thimmiggs to look at him or talk to him about their behavior! It's as if he is invisible! Thimmiggs seems to act rudely, but do they mean to be? Is there a reason they don't see blue? It is at this point that Bob's journey begins. He sets out to discover why Thimmiggs are so different from everyone else. Who could help Bob get answers? Aah, maybe the king of Thimmigg-Land will tell him. Can the king provide the answer? Will Bob get to see the king and finally understand why Thimmiggs are so different? Let's find out together on Bob's excellent adventure.
