This rhyming pirate adventure tells the hilarious story of a pirate captain who demands perfection of himself and his crew—until one by one, his crew begins making minor mistakes and are quickly shown to the plank! (How else did you think Captain LaPlank got his name?) It’s a classic and timely tale of something our culture often promotes—the need to be perfect and always in control. At a time when we’re all are bombarded with unattainable images of perfection, parents and children alike have much to learn from the adventures of the perfectionist pirate and his ultimate discovery:“It has nothing to do with ship captains and crews—perfection’s not something that pirates can choose.They’d bungled their business but those are the breaks—mistakes are just something that everyone makes!” Funny and entertaining, while also delivering important messages about imperfection, leadership, and learning to live with mistakes... A great book for all the pirate lovers out there and for every kid (and parent) who wants to find the ultimate treasure trove: accepting and loving ourselves and others—and overcoming the impossible demand for perfection.

They will laugh at the antics of the Captain but at the same time they learn an excellent lesson on understanding, acceptance and forgiveness. Out of every mistake, we learn something so we should never be afraid to try and make a mistake." -workingmommyjournal.ca About the Author An emerging children's author inspired by Dr. Seuss, Flibber T.
