Captain Boy John Thomson

A submarine for only a dollar! What could be better than that?

The deal seems too good to be true, but Captain Boy really wants his own boat, and the admiral who sells it to him seems nice enough. While taking a tour of his new purchase, Captain Boy quickly learns that the submarine isn't quite what he expected. He tries to take charge and learn to love his boat, but everything seems a little off. The equipment is broken, there's a leak somewhere, and a funny smell is drifting through the boat. Can Captain Boy get his money back?

With fun rhymes and a list of nautical terms, this story is perfect for the boat-loving reader. Not only will kids learn about the different parts of a submarine, but they may just learn a lesson about expectations along the way.
