My Review
Being a Captain is Hard Work is an exciting adventure that teaches children the importance of listening to others.
Captain No Beard and his crew sets out for Dew Rite Volcano, but it isn't long before the crew begins to notice signs that a storm is brewing. Captain No Beard assures them all is fine and orders them to keeping sailing. But, when the strong winds threaten to blow Zack overboard Captain No Beard realizes his crew may have been right. Can he save Zach and set things right?
Being a Captain is Hard Work is a wonderful story that reminds readers how true leaders listen before speaking and trust their crew when they offer help.
The fantastic characters and brilliant illustrations will easily keep little ones engaged and parents will enjoy the message the story conveys.
I recommend picking up a copy.
