Captain Bob Sets Sail

A parent might reach for this book when their child resists bathtime, turning a daily routine into a nightly struggle. This story is for the child who is fearful, reluctant, or just plain bored when it's time to get clean.

The book brilliantly models how imagination can conquer small fears and make chores feel like a grand adventure. Its playful tone and simple narrative are perfect for preschoolers, offering a creative strategy to reduce bathtime friction and encourage cooperation.
