Goodreads

Bobo and Pup-Pup are two good friends. Pup-Pup has a funny book he is reading that Bobo really wants to read too, but Pup-Pup wants to finish reading it first. Bobo disagrees and eventually the problem is resolved by the purchasing of a second book.

This is a book about sharing and problem-solving with friends, the text is simple and easily-read, and the pictures are cartoonish and graphic novel-adjacent. Not a first purchase, but appropriate for emerging readers and a fine addition to the collection.
