Madeline A. United States

This book is so imaginative and clever! Join the pirate crew as they visit the doctor. She encourages them to be brave and do what needs to be done to feel well (medicine and shots). Children will love following around this band of scallywags as they embrace their fears! Wonderful wonderful book!

Such a cute story about Pirates afraid to go to the doctor! My granddaughter loved the beautiful illustrations! This would make a great gift for little ones not so sure about a doctor visit!

Leigh is a gifted author of children’s books. Her recent book, Pirate Flu proves this. She emphasizes character traits needed by young children…kindness and caring. Kaitlin is a very talented artist and makes this book come alive with her beautiful illustrations. A worthy investment for libraries and families!
