Dive Deep with Blue Ocean Bob as He Takes the Lead Protecting All Life in the Sea of Kerchoo
An earthquake has set off an oil spill on the ocean floor, and Blue
Ocean Bob faces his toughest challenge yet. After seeking advice from
the local sage, Doc the turtle, Bob musters the courage to dive down and
repair the damage alongside his mentor, Mary Marine. Upon their return,
Wallace the walrus alerts Bob that a great white shark has been
beached. Calling on his island friends, Bob devises a creative plan to
set the shark free.
But when Mary is called away to a distant island, Bob has to put his fears (and those of his hummingbird guardian, Xena) aside and step into his mentor's shoes. Some unlikely allies help Bob in his new role, but he soon realizes that he needs even more help. Thanks to a tip from his trusted friend, Earl the clam, Bob finds the perfect candidate in a young girl he meets on the shore.
The Adventures of Blue Ocean Bob: Into the Lead is the third installment in this colorful and inspiring early chapter book series that provides young readers with an introduction to timeless principles of achievement.

REVIEW
This is a nice little children's hardcover book that teaches children about achieving their goals. This is book three. The first being, A Journey Begins and the second, A Challenging Job. The book is geared for six to eight year olds. I felt that some of the words were a little advanced for children this age, at least most children. The story is about a small boy, Bob. He lives on an isle in the Sea of Kerchoo. There are five short chapters.
Chapter One: Oil is leaking to the ocean floor. Bob needs to find a way to take care of it.
Chapter Two: Many people working together to save a whale that is stuck ashore.
Chapter Three: Bob has decisions to make
Chapter Four: Bob and some sharks work to save some dolphins in trouble.
Chapter Five: Bob hires Molly to help him
Great little book for five separate readings or all in one. If the child is very young, I would suggest reading a chapter at a time, perhaps as a bedtime story. Young children's attention span is very short. The story is told in rhyme which children always love. The author gives the reader some very good lessons to be learned at an early age. Learning how to trust, gaining confidence, having friends, and how to work with others. The book is colorfully illustrated and a great little lesson book that is fun to read. A good book for any child's shelf.
I received this complimentary copy from the author, Brooks Olbrys in exchange for my unbiased view.
I would give this book 5 STARS.
