My Thoughts:
This is the 4th book in the Captain No Beard Series. Captain No Beard isn't too thrilled to have little Cayla on board today. (Isn't that an adorable way to spell that name?) He thinks that she's just a baby who doesn't know a thing about being on a ship or being a part of the crew and that she'll just get in the way. A strange ship with black sails and a scurvy dog approaches and the crew becomes worried. Little Cayla may just save the day when she does her duty. (Pun intended!) ;)
I am in love with this series so far. From the fun but meaningful messages to the wonderful and colorful illustrations, it's sure to put a smile on everyone's face. This story teaches children that they shouldn't speak to strangers and to be accepting of people, no matter how small or inexperienced. You may find help in the most unexpected way or places. The person who is small, doesn't know anything and a is a "nuisance" may just save your butt! This was an adorable book that had my kids and I laughing. I know they'll be wanting to read this one again.
