Welcome to The Kid’s Korner.
I decided to do this feature as I have so many great children’s books to share. From picture books, to books for beginning readers, to middle graders, I have plenty of fun ones.
Today I’m sharing some more fun adventure books in the Captain No Beard series by Carole P. Roman.

Strangers On The High Seas
A Captain No Beard Story #4
by Carole P. Roman
Genre: Adventure / Children’s Book
My Review
It’s a beautiful day on the high seas and the crew of the Flying Dragon are getting to know the newest member of the gang. Cayla, the cabin girl, is a bit young and they all take turns making sure she doesn’t get inot trouble. But trouble finds them.
A ship flying the Jolly Roger is heading their way. Oh no, it’s the Shark Bait pirate ship. They say the captain is so mean he bites his own tail. What will they do?
Oh boy, I got a case of the giggles reading this one. And I laughed out loud at how new crew member, Cayla inadvertently saved the day.
Each new book I read in this series just endears the characters to me more and I’m anxious to see who joins this zany pirate gang next.
Your kids will get the giggles too, and ooh and aah over the fun, colorful illustrations. Sure to be a big hit.

With a delightful message that teaches children not to judge a book by its cover, this exciting journey will excite young readers as well as teach them valuable life lessons.

The Treasure Of Snake Island
A Captain No Beard Story #5
by Carole P. Roman
Genre: Adventure / Children’s Book
My Review
The seas are calm and it’s a beautiful red sky morning on the Flying Dragon.. But Polly says to take heed. A storm is brewing. The crew doesn’t believe her so she explains what she read in a book.
Red sky in morning, sailor take warning. Red sky at night, a sailor’s delight. I learned some hand rhymes like this when I was young. There’s also one for poisonous coral snakes. Red on black, friend of Jack. Red on yellow, kill a fellow. Another snake is very similar to it and it helps you know which one is poisonous.
I love how the sailor’s poem prepared the crew for a storm they couldn’t even see yet. And all because Polly the parrot loves books.
They weather the storm and follow a treasure map to a small island to hunt for bounty. It’s what pirates do, don’t you know?
Oh, it was crazy cute what was in the treasure chest they dug up. Carole sure knows how to spin a charming, funny story.
Kids will want to go on a treasure hunt too. But they’ve already found it. It’s this wonderful book of adventure and imagination.
