"The Adventures of Blue Ocean Bob: Blue Ocean Bob Discovers His Purpose" by Brooks Olbrys

on December 13, 2010

This book was something fun to read and with it’s bright and colorful illustrations by Aleksandra Beaucher my three enjoyed it.  With the rhyming as young Bob leaves his island life to find a sense of purpose with his friend, Xena, a hummingbird.  I’ve never heard of Bob Proctor but his teachings are what this book is inspired, but I’ve since learned he is a personal development coach as well as a best selling author.

This book sets to instill positive thinking in the children that read this or are read to, and the way it’s done it can be read by anyone.  While this isn’t a Christian book the book still has relevant points even if it seems as if Bob relies more on his own self than God, it still has value and can open up dialogue between parents and children.  My children really enjoyed the pictures and while my 4 year old didn’t really grasp the actual story line my 8 year old did and my 6 year old preferred the rhyming. 

If you’re looking for a fun book that children of all ages can enjoy then the Blue Ocean Bob book is one that will be enjoyable.  It’s hard cover with dust jacket will be an asesst to your bookshelf and can be purchased at Blue Ocean Bob for $13.59 and right now if you buy two books you can get free shipping for a limited time!  This would make a great present for a child who enjoys the ocean.
