A Pirate With No Beard But Plenty of Imagination

An Imaginary Tale of a Pirates Life

Board the Flying Dragon and join Captain No Beard with his motley crew on their nautical quests for treasure and adventure. Prolific children’s book author Carole P. Roman has penned an exciting series that will encourage kids to use their imagination to easily transport themselves to new parts of the world, full of wonder and fun. Along with Mango the mast-climbing monkey, Linus the loud-mouthed lion, Fribbit the floppy frog, and Hallie, his first mate and cousin, Captain No Beard is ready to face any obstacles in his path. In the first installment of the series, An Imaginary Tale of a Pirates Life, Captain No Beard uses determination in the face of challenges and cooperation from his trusty team of fellow pirates to weather storms, discover the meaning of new words like “shiver me timbers” and negotiate with exotic species such as mermaids. Meeting each challenge, Captain No Beard admits that “being a captain is hard work.” Ultimately though, Captain No Beard pursues his mission with his friends for the thrill of adventure and tenacity to uncover treasure. Though in the end it is revealed that Captain No Beard was simply playing pretend with his cousin and their stuffed animals, the fun they had on their imaginary quest was anything but fictional. Enjoying the best doubloons a pirate could have, freshly baked cookies, the crew had to reflect on their quest as a success. Author Carole P.
