About this 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?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received this book free through goodreads giveaway however these are my honest opinions. I loved this book at first glance. The pictures are very engaging for young children and adults alike. It is easy for me to get all my toddler colors right off the cover of this book. The Hardcover is a nice touch since it keeps the book nicer for a longer time. On to the actual content of the book. I liked it quite a bit. It engages the child to guess what might happen to the dragon and captain and if they will ever get the ship back. It has some great aspects such as new vocabulary and similar words that a child who is beginning to read can easily catch on to. I did however knock a star off from the simple fact that it seemed quite scattered. Other than the plot being all over the place It is quite a nice read for a child.
