What an experience! If you live within 100 miles of San Fransico and have children go straight to the project section in the back of the book. You and you children will have an unbelievable experience living a fantasy inside the book. It really lets you imagination take off! (even for us adults). The Flying Ferry Boat was an absolute pleasure to read and I highly recommend it to all families.
This is really a delightful tall tale

We read this book before we went to San Francisco. We loved the tall tale and appreciated the wonderful activities suggested. I would recommend this book to any family planning to visit the Bay Area.The facts concerning San Francisco Bay are correct and it was fun to think about what parts of the story were true and what parts were fantasy.
This was a delightful story plus great activities.

This was a terrific book to read before our family visited San Francisco. We loved visiting the places suggested and had a wonderful time imagining the characters in the various spots.
Wonderful reading for children of any age.

I am so happy that this story is available for other children to read. The author, Judy, is my mother and my Great Grandfather used to tell us this story about the flying ferry boat, Joe Dobe and Captian Nimbo when my sister and I were young. I hope that many other parents will read it aloud and share the experience with their children
