The perfect read for the little perfectionist in your life...

A cleverly written and beautifully illustrated tale about a perfectionist pirate, the "fearsome" Captain LaPlank, who expects his new crew to make no mistakes!

As Captain LaPlank warns his new crew before setting sail:
"I'm not much for mistakes, and I mean that sincerely.
Any pirate who makes one will pay for it dearly!"

This rhyming pirate adventure tells the hilarious story of a pirate captain who demands perfection of himself and his crew -- until one by one, his crew begins making minor mistakes and are quickly shown to the plank!

(How else did you think Captain LaPlank got his name?)

It's a classic and timely tale of something our culture often promotes -- the need to be perfect and always in control.

At a time when we're all are bombarded with unattainable images of perfection, parents and children alike have much to learn from the adventures of the perfectionist pirate and his ultimate discovery:
"It has nothing to do with ship captains and crews --
perfection's not something that pirates can choose.
They'd bungled their business but those are the breaks --
mistakes are just something that everyone makes!"

Funny and entertaining, while also delivering important messages about imperfection, leadership, and learning to live with mistakes...

A great book for all the pirate lovers out there and for every kid (and parent) who wants to find the ultimate treasure trove: accepting and loving ourselves and others -- and overcoming the impossible demand for perfection.
