Review:

Once again we find Captain No Beard and his crew in their travels and learn another valuable lesson. This time the Captain finds himself frustrated as he thinks his crew isn't following directions. With her writings and the colorful illustrations, Carole brings forth her message in a nice, gentle way and reminds us that we need to learn how to compromise, share and be aware of the feelings of others.

I give "Stuck in the Doldrums" a 5 star rating.
