Kathryn Holme's Captain Kit is a true standout in the world of children's literature!

If you were to sail across the deep blue seas in search of a pirate book as fun as this one, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything that comes close. It is a real goldmine of fun, packed with silliness, repetition, and a whimsical crew of characters that bring joy and laughter, making it impossible to read without a smile on your face.

Holme has crafted a rare treasure that will be adored by readers, no matter their age. Every page showcases her incredible imagination and talent, the inventive storyline skillfully imparts lessons on healthy eating to children in a playful way that they'll grasp and enjoy. The flawless rhymes give it a musical touch that makes reading it aloud a delight and, the thoughtful attention to detail in the bold text and vibrant illustrations make it a superb fit for its intended audience.

Even after children have finished reading Captain Kit, the fun won’t end! It's guaranteed to inspire hours of play and imaginative adventures. Also, it's the kind of book that will be remembered and used as a reference for making healthy food choices, making it a valuable addition to any book collection.

In all, with its perfect blend of humour, education, and excitement, this book receives a perfect pirate score of 10/10 from me. Yo Ho Ho!
