...My 2-year-old baby is totally loves Bob the Builder, you know the little builder who asks, and ?can we fix it?? So for her birthday I brought her the Singing Bob the Builder. Bob is in a sitting down position and is dressed in his normal outfit of a pair of denim dungarees, his yellow and orange shirt, soft brown boots and a yellow soft hard hat (as he is a builder).
