Captain Bob Takes Flight

32 pp. | Atheneum/Schwartz | April, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83388-1 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. When his mother, the "Control Tower," tells Captain Bob to "clear the runway," a.k.a. his room, he boards his cardboard airplane and accomplishes his mission. Although the story features amusing flying puns--Bob wears "Wind Socks" on his feet--and celebrates the imagination in the text and in the energetic oil paintings, it lacks the coherence and charm of Captain Bob Sets Sail.
