Illustrated by
Joe Cepeda.
"He was Captain Bob, the bravest and best Captain that ever sailed the Soapy Seas." A young boy has a magnificent, imaginative adventure as he takes his bath, facing the dangers of a nautical life. The text uses alliteration, playful language, and occasional rhymes to build energy and playfulness, while Cepeda's exuberant oil paint illustrations show the reality of Captain Bob's voyage.
