This book is just a little under Finn's reading level, but he still enjoyed it for the most part. It had him chuckling to himself and he loved pointing things out in the book.

This was a fun book to read with some fabulous images that are nice and bright!
The story was easy to follow and there are some great characters
A good, fun read – 4 stars!

Ah yes, the old bait and switch. It should come as no surprise to most readers that the titular "treasure" is not monetary. Cute, I suppose, but nothing particularly special.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book easily became my little captain's favorite treasure. He (and I) loved the pictures and the story. He's three, by the way. And plays pirates in bath frequently, so a new story with a ship and a nice pirate was just in time.

I think maybe the language could have been a bit more snappy, rhymey for the little ones. It didn't seem to stick much in his memory. Like, the pages with pictures didn't bring back the story when we read it the second and third time - they do awe with their general pirate story but not so much with exact text attached to each picture. Especially the dialogue.

Other than that, we loved it. Will look out for more from this author.

My five year old son loved this book. You think that it's going to be a typical pirate story, when actually it turns out to be an adventure instead. This was a really good aspect to the book, as there are plenty of standard pirate stories available. The illustrations are clear and inviting, with chunky lines and without looking too computerised. My son particularly liked the different islands visited by the hero of the story, and they provided plenty of opportunities for further questions and discussions. It would be a nice follow on activity to talk about and draw some other islands for Tom to visit.

This is a cute story with delightful illustrations. We recommend it! My sons enjoyed the story and anyone enjoying pirate stories will too, but it is a story children will enjoy whether they are a pirate fan or not. It is the adorable story that is a treasure.

This is a short young children’s adventure book. The illustrations are bright and colourful and the text large and bold, making it a great book for a child learning to read.

The book follows Tom as he visits numerous different islands looking for the treasure, each one is unique and very different from the next.

There is a great twist in the book too, which added to the enjoyment.

Tom goes out of his way to find the Captain’s favorite treasure when it gets lost. Not a bad story, and not bad illustrations. And while I like the story I do not think it has staying power. This will not still be in libraries in 20 years.

This is a cute book about searching for Treasure. Tom and his family are all pirates and live on the ship with Captain Crank. When the Captain leaves the ship he asks Tom to watch over his greatest Treasure. Tom does not know what it is so can not watch over it. When the Captain returns, he sends Tom off to find his treasure. He goes from island to islands meeting many whimsical characters but does not find the treasure. This is a fun story about hunting for treasure and what treasure really is to each person. The illustrations are colourful and assist the reader in determining the text. This book could be read independently by early readers. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

Cute story about a pirate boy named Tom who goes searching for the Captain's favorite treasure. Cute illustrations and the story has a nice flow to it.

I appear to be in a nitpicky mood, as I can’t help but notice on the opening illustration that the main kid character is wearing a paper hat in a rainstorm.
Wow, whole families of pirates! And they’re all so polite! Captain Crank is actually Bluebeard, or maybe Tealbeard.
Um, which are the Jigs and which are the Saws?
Trying to put myself in the mindset of the kid, I would think he’d be pretty mad about going on such a wild goose chase. He might have enjoyed visiting all those places if he wasn’t so worried about finding the treasure.

This is a very good title for early readers. The repetition used will help them anticipate words and build confidence in their reading skills. The storyline is fun and each island Tom searches is filled with interesting things to delight. The illustrations are good, and the final discovery of the Captain's Treasure and the things we value provides a good lesson.

What a lovely book The Captain’s Favourite Treasure by Angela Fish is. Beautiful illustrations throughout the book a must for any child who loves a good pirate story with an adventure to a pirate Island and many more Islands.
A young boy called Tom who is a cabin boy who lived on a Pirate ship called The Puffin with his Mum, dad and his parrot called Giggles. The Captain of this ship is called Captain Crank.
Captain Crank asked Tom to look after his favourite treasure whilst he visits the Pirate Island. Whilst Captain Crank was on the pirate Island his favourite treasure goes missing. Oh no I hear you say.............Tom looks everywhere for it. But still can not find it. What can he do?
Captain Crank is not happy to find that his favourite treasure has gone missing, and informs Tom if he does not find it soon he will have to stay at the Pirate Island. Tom walks away, Packs up some biscuits, rum, water and a map and sets off for the pirate island.
This is where his adventure starts for Tom.................Tom meets Dolphins, Fire tigers, Monkey's, Fish and many more animals. Tom then visits the Rainbow Island then the Christmas Island and many more Islands looking for Captain Cranks favourite treasure. Does Tom find it?

This story was very thoughtful and Tom could be a Boy or girl pirate who is having an adventure looking for treasure and visiting Islands.

The Captain’s Favourite Treasure by Angela Fish is very colourful and I loved it. Great book for any child and would be great for the pre-school going up to the classroom and this will be used for my classes. I can see a project coming out of this story and some role play with my students.

Wonderful Book. Thank you to Netgalley for letting me read it for an honest review. 5 Stars.

The book has a cute setup and daring adventures to many different colorful places. Unfortunately the end is anti-climactic. The boy searches for treasure and it turns out to be...this? I think the reward to the reader should be more meaningful given the context in which it was written.

Adorable children's book! I liked each fantasy island he searched. The illustrations were great. It taught a great lesson about "treasure"

My kids and I all loved this book. There was enough going on in the illustrations to hold their attention the whole way through, and we all loved the ending. Great for early readers too.
