“Please bring my children home safe!”
Every mother’s plea echoes through the high-seas adventures of Two Young Captainsas they terrorize the crew of the Santa Laura Lee.These two young stow-aways-turned-captains will not rest until they find their father and sister and bring them home from the sea.
This easy-reading chapter book is a labor of love from two friends with children of our own. Dale and I were looking for a way to connect with our kids. We wanted to entertain them. We wanted to give them a story that would capture their imaginations.
Dale’s story will capture the imaginations of your young, independent readers. The pictures will help them develop the mental pictures to more fully engage their minds.
Two Young Captains resonates with the young reader because it is a reflection of their lives. They may not live on a boat, and they may not have taken over, but they do know what it is to live in a world dominated by adults who tell them what to do. And they dream of what it would be like to turn the tables and be in charge.
What may seem childish to us can be of great importance to a child. Two Young Captains will let your child stretch his imagination and relate to its heroes as he reads about the struggles of two young boys desperate to unite their family.
Siblings will relate with the young captains’ struggles to get along. Parents will relate to the First Mate’s efforts to keep the ship afloat.
Dale wrote Two Young Captains with young readers in mind. New words are explained. Sentences are short and chapters are manageable. It is the perfect book for an advernturous child who may be overwhelmed by long books with long, grey columns of text.
When he first sent me Two Young Captains, I was touched by the humanity of the characters and the playful story. I just had to illustrate it.
This isn’t a toddler’s picture book either. It is an easy-to-read chapter book parents can use to help their children grow into longer chapter books.
Between the pages of Two Young Captains children will discover that things work better when we work together and everyone has something they can do to help.
This book puts the child in charge. As they read about how these Two Young Captains overcome problems with the boat and with each other, they will learn lessons about leadership and cooperation. They may even develop a greater sense of self-confidence.
When they sit down on the couch, turn off the TV and put the vido games away and for the next 30 minutes let their imaginations ride the high seas with these Two Young Captains, you will know they are gaining confidence in their ability to read. And you will feel good knowing they are having fun while they are doing it.
