The first two books we received are from Roman's Captain No Beard series. Captain No Beard: An Imaginary Tale of a Pirate's Life and A Captain No Beard Story: The Crew Goes Coconuts! Cousins Hallie and Alexander explore the edges of the earth with their trusty imaginations and lively stuffed animals. In the first story, we get introduced to all the key characters and the grand pirate adventure they are on together. In The Crew Goes Coconuts! the crew learns to deal with bullying and the struggles it brings. As Hallie aptly says, "No one is perfect! That's why we should look for something to like in everyone." These were big hits with my kids (ages 6 and 4) who are big into imagination adventure right now. After reading these, I'm interested in the others in the series that continue to address real life problems our kids will face.
In a similar way, One To Ten: Squirrel's Bad Day seeks to demonstrate what really matters when life gets a little too overwhelming. We had a great discussion together after reading this book because this is relevant to our life every. single. day. Our household is full of strong personalities and children to boot, so EVERYTHING is a HUUUGE deal, even when it's not. Learning along with Squirrel to evaluate just how bad this situation really is gave us all a tool that can be carried into any activity of life. For a typical picture book it was a little longer than I expected, but the content was worthwhile.
