Whenever Alexander and his cousin Hallie hop on Alexander's bed to play, they become Captain No Beard and his fearless pirate crew of 'The Flying Dragon'. They set sail for a voyage of imagination as First Mate Hallie, Mongo the Monkey, Linus the loudmouthed lion, and Fribbet the floppy frog - who are in reality, three stuffed animals. Together, Alexander and Hallie sail the seven seas in a magical vessel bound for dangerous and exciting adventures.
I must say that I enjoyed reading these books. They were quick reads for me and overall, I would give the entire series an A+! In my opinion, this series would make a great gift for children. Each book teaches children valuable lessons such as patience and tolerance; sharing; responsibility and cooperation; being a good friend and what to do when meeting strangers.

Captain No Beard has a new crew member named Cayla. As he keeps his eye on her a possible stranger/enemy pirate ship come into view.
It's been awhile since I have a read a Captain No Beard and there were somethings I had forgotten my first read through of this 4th book in the series. I had forgotten that the captain and his mates were children pretending so when I first read I was confused. Now I have read it a second time and I would said this book and series are really cute and are well written. I think it would be well liked for boys and girls.
I love the watercolor illustrations although I feel like there was a couple of times I could not figure out if the images where saying the same the words were but that might be my adult eyes going.
I look forward to reading more Captain No Beard stories. I could also see this series becoming a cartoon in years to come.
