Captain Horatio Pugwash, that blustering pirate who first appeared in comic strip form in 1950, and who has starred in three television series devoted to his adventures, made his picture-book debut here, in this comic tale of two rival sea captains. With a crew of incompetent layabouts under his command, Captain Pugwash sails his ship, The Black Pig, about the Caribbean, always on the lookout for treasure. When his cabin boy, Tom - the only member of the crew with any discernible skills - spies another ship nearby, one that appears to be deserted, and piled high with gold, the greedy pirate sets out immediately to claim it. Unbeknownst to him, of course, it is a trap set by his arch-nemesis and rival pirate, the evil Cut-Throat Jake. Will Captain Pugwash be killed, or will the loyal Tom come to the rescue...? Originally published in 1957, this first of more than twenty Captain Pugwash picture-books books is a humorous sea story sure to please young readers who enjoy a rollicking good tale. Children who love to read about the adventures of pirates will be particularly thrilled! Done in a cartoon-like style (which makes sense, given the origins of the character in a comic strip), and alternating between full color and black and white artwork with blue accents, the illustrations here are just as appealing as the text, perfectly capturing the zany, madcap humor of the story. All in all, Captain Pugwash is a fun little book - I can see why it has remained popular all of these years. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Frances Lincoln are delighted to present paperback editions of this classic picture book series. There's nothing more likely to prompt our portly hero into action than the prospect of treasure. So when the valiant cabin boy Tom espies a mound of yellow stuff aboard a nearby ship, the Captain sets off in hot pursuit. Unfortunately, his villainous arch-enemy, the horrible Cut-throat Jake, is not far away. Will the Captain be trapped by Jake's dastardly plan? Or will Tom, the wisest little cabin boy on the Seven Seas, have a plan of his own...' No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The viewpoint character, Tom, does pretty much what any of us would do and no more. There's no moral lesson (other than be careful with your tools and use them correctly). It's entertaining for five minutes, and then it's over.
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve! ( )
