He begins a new job as assistant to Mary Marine, the Island of Roses's leading marine biologist, and with his hummingbird guardian, Xena, by his side, works hard to carry out his duties to the sea creatures both on and off the shore.
When the challenges mount, Bob seeks advice from Doc the turtle, Earl the clam, and Wallace the walrus, who each help him to develop the positive attitude he needs to succeed. His first task, teaching a young seal to swim in the open ocean, takes him to Doc for instruction.
"To teach well," Doc advised, "you must first learn a lot.
For how can you give what you haven't yet got?
You are a fine swimmer, Bob. That you have shown.
You just need some time in the sea on your own.
So go snorkel out and don't rush back too soon.
For the training you need, you must leave this lagoon.
And when you return, you can do so with pride.
You'll have learned that true confidence comes from inside."
In sparkling, rhyming text and gorgeous color illustrations, Bob begins his studies with both his human and animal guides. Thanks to all of them, Bob learns confidence, responsibility, communication, gratitude and the meaning of success.
The Adventures of Blue Ocean Bob: A Challenging Job is the second installment in this colorful and inspiring early chapter book series that provides young readers with an introduction to timeless principles of achievement.
"The book is broken down into five chapters, each one focusing on an important life principle. Your child will learn about confidence, responsibility, communication, gratitude and success. All very important lessons for our little ones to learn from an early age.... The illustrations in the book are wonderful. Full of color and fun characters - your child will want to jump into the pages and play at the seaside with Bob."- PennyMindingMom.com
"The story is well-written poetry, and very encouraging for children to read. The illustrations are beautiful. Although several of the characters wear glasses, and Doc is the only animal wearing clothes- the characters are all beautifully and realistically drawn. I highly recommend this book to be in any library for character traits. Bob is a wonderful example of determination and resourcefulness. This book is easily five stars." - Selena, Goodreads
"I loved how this book was full of positivity and Bob was encouraged to do things even if he felt he couldn't, and he never gave up. I liked how the animals had advice and wisdom to give." -K&A's Childrens Book Reviews
Young readers of classic series like Magic Tree House, Geronimo Stilton and Warriors will love these tales of discovery and exploration as they journey with Blue Ocean Bob.
