Introducing.......Bob Bob

10/7/2013

A few years ago I wrote a story about the pirate, Captain Sillyvoice. It wasn’t a picture book. It was longer than that and it also involved a family who were able to magically travel to new and adventure filled lands. My friend Carol had read this story at the time and remembered it. She suggested that I should bring back the Captain to feature in my picture books. We were discussing possible crew names and she came up with the idea of ‘Bob Bob’ because his head is always bobbing up and down. I liked it then, and I like it now! Thanks Carol!

So, here is Emma’s brilliant illustration of Bob Bob.

This is the second character from the Captain Sillyvoice books; Lyrical Len can be found in a previous post, and there are some more coming soon!

P.S. Thank you to everyone for the comments in response to the Lyrical Len post - please keep them coming! 

Any feedback is always appreciated.

Bob Bob
Bob Bob has been living on ships since he was born. He loves the sea and is a superb swimmer. He dislikes being on land or being dry. Indeed, whenever he sets foot on land he feels rather peculiar. His heads start bobbing up and down as though he is still on a ship and he often suffers with ‘land sickness’.
