SuitabookEye, eye, Captain!
Jane Clarke, Jennie Poh
- Reading
- Read together and pause when the captain makes a mistake: invite your child to notice what he may be seeing, then discuss what he could do next.
- Themes
- Glasses and fear of others' judgement: Captain Cutlass refuses to wear his glasses because he fears the crew will make him walk the plank, despite struggling to see. The outline establishes his fear and the practical trouble caused by not seeing clearly, but not how the story ultimately judges his choice.
- Worth knowing
- The captain fears being made to walk the plank if his crew discover he wears glasses; the outline does not say whether this threat is carried out.
