Giveaway: Flag for the Flying Dragon, A Captain No Beard Story written by Carole P. Roman


About Book

It's business as usual on the Flying Dragon. Their mission is to find a flag for the ship. Captain No Beard sighs, "Being a captain is hard work," as he watches the busy crew preparing the vessel for their next adventure. 

Polly is giving out pretzels; Linus is polishing a lamp. Matie is cracking coconuts, Cayla is stuffing holes, and Hallie is swabbing the deck. High overhead, trouble is brewing, and it is not the weather. 


Mongo does not want any help from the newest crew member, and it is creating a hurricane of a mess on board. 


The team must come together and find a task that will fit Zachary without interfering with their own fun. On the way, they acquire a flag that will unite them as both friends and crew. 


Join the problem-solving crew of the Flying Dragon as they find a flag for their ship and a job for Zach.

My Thoughts

Captain No Beard had his hands full with the antics of their new pirate, Zachary.  Zachary is working hard to be a team mate but he just keeps failing at everything.  Captain and the other shipmates assigned him different tasks to no avail.  Then by pure luck the Captain finds the perfect assignment for Zachary.  A very important assignment all his very own.

Very cute book showing how important it is to have team work which means to be  supportive of each other. Definitely not making making your team mate feel inferior.  The author always has the Captain pulling things together for the good of all. 


Love the new Swabbie, diaper clad baby Zachary!  He is a real cutie pie, I mean handsome pirate.  


Can't wait for more adventures into the imagination of Captain No Beards and his growing shipmates!


I highly recommend this book.


I gladly rated this book a 5 out of 5.


Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from the author for an honest review. I was in no way compensated for this review.
