Dragon and Captain

by P. R. Allabach Narrated by P. R. Allabach

Overview

What was Captain doing in Dragon' s sandbox? He was moping. Because he' d lost his ship. " Oh, no! I' ll help you find it! Come on!" Dragon said. " Where are we going?" Captain asked. " To my cave! I know I have a map there somewhere." Armed with a (toy watch) compass, a (paper towel tube) telescope, and a (handdrawn) map, Dragon and Captain set off on a great adventure. Dragon is a boy who always wears his dragon robe. And 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. Can Dragon and Captain find the lost ship... before lunch?
