ljrinaldi 's review for:
Pirate Nell's Tale to Tell: A Storybook Adventure
by Helen Docherty
This is a cute but heavy-handed book about a little want-to-be pirate Nell. She joins the crew to have adventures, but is regulated to cleaning decks, and washing dishes.
And because she studies her almanac, and learns about maps, and steering ships, and saving lives, she is able to use all this to have her grand adventure where the crew finds a treasure, which happens to be books.
I mean it is cute that Nell saves the day through reading, and that the best treasure is books, but wow, hit us over the head with it.
Other than that, a cute story. Nice illustrations.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
