I am a huge fan of Roman’s books. She offers two great series of books including this Captain No Beard series as well as If you Lived In…series introducing children to cultures all over the world. Roman has also written several stand-alone children’s books, including a couple new ones that I will be reviewing this summer. To see all my review of Roman’s books, click HERE.

In the Captain No Beard series, a group of friends takes off on a pirate adventure, each time with wild imaginations and lots of lessons learned. In this story, the captain has let his job go to his head a bit and decides that he knows everything. Even when his dependable crew is pointing out the stormy seas and the dark clouds, he ignores their warnings…and almost too late. When the captain finally comes to his senses, he realizes he almost lost his crew to his silly notion of being right.

Children will love the excitement in the story and all the characters that have continued to make an appearance in all the Captain No Beard stories. Different types of clouds are discussed with an inclusive glossary at the end of the book describing all the clouds for you child to learn.

Lemaire has illustrated some of Roman’s other books and she is extremely talented. The characters, the storms, the vivid colors, and expressions on the faces bring the pages and the story to life. This newest addition to the series will encourage imagination, pretend play and a love of adventure in your children.
