Synopses & Reviews
In this delightful fantasy for the youngest child, a little boy who has been told to clean his room imagines that he's "the finest, fiercest flyer that ever flew the cloud-cluttered skies." When the curly-headed control tower (a.k.a. Morn) issues the order "Clear the runway!" Captain Bob knows what he must do. With his sky scarf tied tightly around his neck and fog goggles over his eyes, he climbs confidently into a cardboard box that he's transformed into a plane. Speeding through curtains that are clouds and picking up toys that are low-lying objects, he's a boy on a mission, to clean his room before lunchtime.
Enjoy the return of Captain Bob -- a small boy with a big imagination -- in this bright and lively sequel to Captain Bob Sets Sail that's perfect for reading aloud.

All kids who have to clean up their room, climb aboard!

Enjoy the return of Captain Bob -- that small boy with the big imagination -- who proves once again that even cleaning your room is an opportunity to have fun.
