Captain Bob is one of my kids' favorite characters. CAPTAIN BOB SETS SAIL is another winner, with gorgeous, up-close illustrations and a fun storyline. While taking his bath, Bob imagines himself the Captain, setting sail on the open sea, dodging the waterfalls, and avoiding the many hidden dangers of the tumultuous open waters. Definitely a great bedtime story, and also great for beginning readers, who will be able to pick up on some of the repetitive words. Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"

Adventurous bathtime

This large lavishly colored book is a favorite of my almost-5 year old nephew and his almost-3 sister. The pictures are very close in, making young Captain Bob a titan in his bath as he deals with waterfalls, ships, and dinosaurs (!), a cute reference to the real life assortment of toys children often take into the tub. It's the kind of book my nephew memorizes from repeated readings and insists on "reading" back to me. Very cute!

Fun to Read!

I read both Capt. Bob books to my son when he was 2-3, now he's 4 1/2 and we're reading them again. They're written with great energy. Favorites in our stack of books.

Captain Bob Sets Sail

As a teacher of 3 and 4 year olds, this is a favorite book of mine, as well as my students. Our local children's librarian came to visit our class and introduced the book to us. It is loads of fun and very creative. I am buying two for nephews, and going to include some bathtub toys in along with the gift!

Set sail for a wonderful adventure!

Captain Bob Sets Sail is a wonderful book that is fun to read and filled with wonderful illustrations. It was easy to see my 5 year old as Captain Bob as he sits in his tub acting out different adventures. My son and I have such a grand time reading this book, it is an adventure for us both every time. A fantastic book for kids aged 3-7 years old.
