Pepper Parrot's Problem with Patience by Carole P Roman

By Tina

Carole P Roman has done it again in the story of Pepper Parrot's Problem with Patience.  Captain No Beard, his First Mate Hallie, and the crew of the Flying Dragon pirate ship are excited to welcome a new crew member, Pepper Parrot, today!  But the drills are a major problem for Pepper Parrot to complete correctly, since she does not know her left from her right.  Her new friends show her some understanding, patience, and a special trick that encourage her to have confidence and to become a real crew member.  Her new discovery makes her look at herself in a more positive, confident way.  (taken from the back of the book)

I love the Captain No Beard stories and this one is no exception.  In this story, Captain No Beard and his crew try to help children learn how to deal with issues as dyslexia.  It is also very easy to get young children engaged in the story, which is the best part of all.
