Bitten by Books
Blue Ocean Bob loves the sea and wants to make it his life’s work to protect it. His guardian is a hummingbird named Xena who is cautious and protective of Bob. When he begins working with a marine biologist on the Island of Roses, he is initially a little overwhelmed by the things he is tasked with, but finds great advice from ocean-dwelling friends.
A Challenging Job is the second book in this series and I am definitely going back to read the first. This beautifully-illustrated short story is perfect for young readers. It is written in lyrical rhyme and provides wonderful lessons about trying new things and believing in yourself.
Xena is like the inner voice of doubt that tries to slow Bob down and turn him away from the challenges that face him. Bob’s dedication to the sea helps him find his inner strength and, with helpful advice, he stays the course, conquers his fear and gets the job done. It is so beautiful, I read it three times. This is a definite keeper and makes a fantastic gift.
