PIRATES WANTED

Low wages. Safe return unlikely. Captain Crispin seeks the long-lost lightning blade!

Do you have the courage to explore dark ocean deeps and face down giant Octopi?

Can you endure the heat of Lava Peak and pluck a fire flower?

And if the pursuit takes you to Pirate’s Doom, will you defend the crew against all foes?

Your reward: glory and honor. And cake.

Customer Reviews

★★★★★

" We want to teach kids a genuine love for reading but the truth is, the early stages are rarely enjoyable for kids or parents. Chickadee Readers offer a wonderful and much-needed tool to change this. The stories are captivating, funny, and full of truth. Nothing helps kids learn to read more than a love for stories. It is a joy to see them eagerly turning pages to find out what happens next."

"Chickadee Readers are effective at drawing kids into having fun while reading! Highly recommend for any young readers and parents looking to have light-hearted and enjoyable experiences as they learn to read."

"Before reading the Chickadee readers our biggest challenge was finding books that looked interesting at his level. It was also hard to find readers that reinforced phonics principles. My son got story grip and really loved having a new book to look forward to. The Chickadee readers were far more interesting and funny than other early readers."

A book of simple lessons

This book has given my children great enjoyment. While being a great tool to call the whole family up to courage , joy, and adventure.

We can’t wait to read what Forest creates next.

The documentary of the book has also inspired my oldest son to start writing and i illustrating his own book.

Thank you canon press for inspiring my children.

New and original it’s a favorite

We have the original version and it was perfect for the 2-3 year old years…this new updated extended version is so fun. We all love it! The words are already memorized and the pictures offer so much exploration and imagination.

Read it again!

I read Blah Blah Blacksheep to three of my grandchildren over facetime this morning, and when I finished they immediately yelled in unison, “Read it again!”

Wonderful & useful

Not only is it beautiful and fun, but it’s his book has been useful in parenting. When my boys, 4 and 3, start to pour we ask “are you going to kill the cranky dragon?” It’s a simple and fun way to remind them that they can obey and blessed even when they’re sad or disappointed. They even ask to read it when they’re having a particularly grumpy day.

Awesome sauce!

My son (he’s two) and I love, love this book. I can’t get enough of the pictures, the illustrations are gorgeous! I love the detail put into each page. I notice new things every time I read it. It’s a feast to look at. The story is really fun and engaging, and teaches a good lesson in an exciting way.

Loved by young and old

Both I and my children (ages 3,5, and 7) love this book. There are some books that are a slog as a parent to get through. This is not one of those. You will love it and so will your kids. Surprisingly humorous too. There is a page that always gets a laugh.

Best children’s Dragon Story

I recently was exposed to the disappointing movie, How to Train a Dragon. It was demoralizing and terribly confusing for young Christian minds who are drawn in by the beautiful animation and empathy with God’s creatures. In contrast, Crispin’s Rainy Day displays excellent art with a noble and realistic drama. The hero overcomes his own sin to win the day for a godly feminine hero who instructs me every time I think of her character. This is good art!

For my 6 yr old

This one is simple and great for new readers. She is very interested in reading everything and loves that she can pick this one up and read much of it. It will be one we read often, and maybe that will help understand the moral and point, for all of us. And it’s confusing when a rhyming book stops rhyming in a weird way…
