The Captain’s Favourite Treasure

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
