My Thoughts
Captain No Beard decides that since there is no wind for the sails they should spend the day on the beach.. His ship mates love this idea. Mongo the Monkey climbs a coconut tree and checks out puffy clouds with the spyglass but does not want to share it with Captain No Beard. So Captain No Beard pronounces he is the captain and to hand over the spyglass. This made Mongo sad. Then Linus the Lion and Fribett the frog were building a sand castle and the Captain told them they were doing it all wrong and took over their sandcastle. All of the mates let the Captain know he was not being fair and they did not want to play with him. This made Captain No Beard get an even bigger attitude and he returned to the ship alone. Something happened while he was on the ship all alone and he starting calling for help. At first his mates did not want to help him but Hallie changed their mind. They solved the problem on the ship as a team and they realized they worked very well together.
Do you think Captain No Beard owes them an apology? After all being Captain is a very hard job. Do you share with others?
The author has done it again she has written a wonderful story teaching the importance of sharing and teamwork. Also the need to respect each other at all times. Captain No Beard and his mates teach sharing through their adventure which will keep young readers out of the doldrums. This is a fun adventurous outing that finds the captain in a dangerous situation that bring his shipmates to his rescue and working together as a team.
I highly recommend this book.
