Things that Go by Air

The children thought they knew all about things that go by air....but we were able to add a few items to our tree map after reading today's book:  Captain Bob Takes Flight.  By the end of the week we will be aviation experts!

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. Mom) 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.
Don't laugh at my drawings!
