Captain Bob Takes Flight By Roni Schotter

This book is about a young boy named Bob who turns cleaning his room into a flying adventure. Bob uses his imagination and turns a chore into an exciting event. I like how some of the text wrapped around the illustrations in this book. I also enjoyed this book because the illustrations seemed to be created by using a sponge painting technique. The illustrations reminded me of a time in art class when children explore paint with their hands. Finger painting and sponge painting allow children to expand their creativity outside of the box. The character Bob in this picture book turns an ordinary cardboard box into an airplane. Bob lets his imagination soar similar to when children finger paint.
