Win! A copy of The Adventures of Captain Bobo by Kay Hutchison

To celebrate the start of a brilliant new radio series for children based on The Adventures of Captain Bobo, Fun Kids radio are giving ten lucky TheSchoolRun readers the chance to receive a copy of one of the picture books in the Captain Bobo series.

Narrated by legendary actor John Sessions this brand new 10 part radio series is based on the much-loved Adventures of Captain Bobo books for children 4-8 published by Belle Media.

Characters and storylines in the books and series are inspired by the adventures of co-author Kay Hutchison’s father - the real-life Captain Bobo and his real-life ship, the iconic PS Waverley – ‘the world’s last ocean going paddle steamer’.

No matter the challenges - shipwrecks, storms, hordes of marauding sheep, or even the occasional stray elephant – the cast of comic characters always manage to save the day!

Families and children can follow the antics of Captain Bobo; First Officer Sheila MacSween; Billy the cabin boy; Emma the apprentice engineer; harbour master Mr Singh and Salty, the captain’s faithful wee Scottie dog - broadcast each week on Fun Kids.

How to listen:
The series consists of 10 programmes (10 minutes long) and will be broadcast nationally on Fun Kids DAB service weekly from Thursday September 24th at 15.15 (repeated Saturday 11.30am).

To be in with a chance of winning a copy of a Captain Bobo picture book worth £7.99 (rrp) simply answer the following question.
