There is just something about a tale of pirates that
intrigues children and excites them to the adventure. They love pirate-speak such as “Shiver me
timbers,” “Aye Captain….a big blow,” “Aye, me hearties.”
In Captain No Beard young readers encounter purpose and a
lesson in how hard work and perseverance or determination can help them.
Captain No Beard is a hearty “lad” capable of being a
captain though he finds that it is definitely hard work. Valuable lessons in hard work, friendship,
and determination are taught via this colorful story.
Colorfully illustrated, this “imaginary tale of a pirate’s
life” will surely capture the interest of the young child and young reader just
as surely as though they had been captured by Captain No Beard, the pirate. (rev. VHG)
Author Carole Roman “charms with an imaginative, whimsical
