Fallen Over Book Reviews

We received this book to give an honest review.

We have read the second book in this series and really enjoyed it but I was curious on how Blue Ocean Bob came to be so I asked the author if I could read book one and he was good with sending me a copy. 

In this story we learn how Ocean Bob became an official assistant to Mary. We get to meet Doc the Turtle, Earl the Clam and Wallace the Walrus. Each animal gives him the wisdom and wise words to complete his journey that Mary Marine gives him. 

Bob knows he has a purpose in life but he doesn't know how to go about finding it so when Mary Marine gives him a test he knows this is it for him. But we see him get discouraged only to encounter Earl and get even more advice and wisdom on what he should do. Will Bob succeed in passing his test? Will he accomplish what he needs to do to find his purpose in life?

The pictures are wonderful and really go with the story, the rhyming within the story being told keeps kids entertained with wording but not bored. 

I really liked the quote " Think of the negative and you will fail. Think of the positive? You'll tag that whale. 

It's the magic word 'attitude,' which, if it's right, will attract all the good that you have in your sight. When you put it together, it's simple but true: Your attitude shapes the world's image of you." 

That is so true and I believe kids need to hear that. There is a lesson within the story though I don't think children know it. 

K enjoyed how Bob went on an adventure and finished his job. He thought a talking Clam and Turtle were very funny. 

This is a great book to have at home and read with your children I would recommend this for ages 7 on up.
