Bosun Bob is a beautifully evocative tale of a tenacious sea-faring dog and his adventures at sea. Bob sets sail at dawn, leaving the safety of his harbour for the open ocean. He meets a series of mysterious and sometimes frightening sea creatures before his ship is wrecked in a violent thunderstorm. Bob is rescued from an untimely end and meets an unlikely shipmate in the process.
It is based upon the many adventures Erin encountered whilst living aboard her yacht Rocket with her family and dog, Bob. The creatures and lands she discovered shaped the tale of Bob, with Erin wanting to share the sense of wonder and magic she found on board with adults and children alike.
In parts I think it possibly rhymed better in the authors head than it does out loud. It's a lovely story and you get to know BB quickly. Illustrations capture the narrative beautifully
Lovely illustrations, nice gentle story.
I’m a childminder and read this book aloud to children. The children and I love it. Rhyme and gorgeous illustrations.
What a fantastic story and illustration. I have bought one for my Great Nieces, who love it, and one for myself and am about to order a couple more. Can’t wait for the next one to come out 😊.
A brilliant, heartwarming story with fabulous illustrations...we loved it!!
This is a beautifully told and exquisitely illustrated story. I loved reading it and hope Bosun Bob has many more adventures
A wonderfully illustrated book with adventure and intrigue. It'll captivate the imagination of any child. Highly recommended indeed!
Such a lovely story, my grandchildren love it so much and hope the next one features the cat!
Lovely book, love the charming story, love the delightful illustrations. Will recommend to others. Hope there's another story to follow.
A lovely story, beautifully illustrated. Perfect length for a bed time story and sets the scene for dreams of Bob’s adventures. Looking forward to the sequel.
A beautifully written book, wonderfully illustrated, with engaging characters that jump out of the page. Very much enjoyed by our grandchildren who eagerly await Bob's further salty adventures.
My daughter loves this beautiful book. The gorgeous illustrations and lovely rhyming story really capture her imagination and we have great fun talking about all the different sea creatures. Can’t wait for the second book!
Bought as a gift for my kids who loved it, a proper romping adventure book. They particularly loved all the animals. Would highly recommend x
A proper adventure story that is lovely to have as a physical book - so well put together. The kids love Bob and can't wait to find out where his next adventure takes him. Brilliant!
