Dragon and Captain [PDF ebook] 

‘Hey, Pirate. What are you doing in my sandbox?’ ‘I»m not a pirate. I»m the captain of a ship.’ What is Captain doing in Dragon»s sandbox? He is moping. Because he»s lost his ship. ‘Oh, no! I»ll help you find it! Come on!’ ‘Where are we going?’ ‘To my cave! I know I have a map somewhere.’



Armed with a (toy watch) compass, a (paper-towel tube) telescope, and a (hand-drawn) map, Dragon and Captain set off on a great adventure. Dragon is a boy in pajamas and a dragon robe. Captain is a boy with a three-sided hat. But as the boys» imaginations take over, we see them as they see themselves and the backyard as the boys see it: a dark forest, a craggy cliff, and the immense sea. Illustrated like a comic book, this book is a fantasy-filled graphic novel for the picture book set. Young readers will be enchanted with—and parents will appreciate—the creative backyard play, in which the boys use the simplest found items and the backyard features to create an elaborate adventure. Can Dragon and Captain find the lost ship before lunch?
