Being a Captain is Hard Work by Carole P. Roman

-April

The captain is heading towards a volcano, but he's not listening to his crew!  The captain learns that he has two ears and one mouth for a reason!

I read this book to my day care children, and we all enjoyed the pictures.  The children are aged 3 to 5.  They're colorful, even when there's trouble brewing.  They go really well with the story, so as you're reading, there's no disconnection.

I always enjoy the morals in Roman's stories.  There's always a lesson for children to learn, but it's presented in a fun way.

There's a small paragraph every other page, without any really difficult words.  I think beginning readers could enjoy this easily with minimal help.
