Being a Captain is Hard Work by Carole P Roman
A Captain No Beard Story

Publisher: Red Feather Publishing
Genre: Historical
Length: 31 pages
Age Recommendation: 4+
Rating: 4 stars
Review by: Honeysuckle
Captain No Beard is determined to travel to Dew Rite Volcano. He won’t listen when Mongo predicts a storm or Linus indicates they are headed in the wrong direction. He insists Polly cook in the galley even though the seas are getting rough. What’s a crew to do with a stubborn, know-it-all captain? Will they convince the captain he is barreling headlong into danger, or will Captain No Beard jeopardize both his safety and the crew’s with his single-minded determination to go where he wants?
