The ADventures of Captain Blackberry
http://www.herbdiggens.com/bookcaptainb.html
Teaches Children about fruit in a pirate setting. All the places he’s gone to, all the bakeries he’s visited, all the flavors he’s tasted, Captain Blackberry sure thought he had seen it all, yet nothing could prepare him for what he was about to encounter. Then one day, all his fears, simply disappeared. It happened in town, while walking around, down by the pier. An aroma arose up his nose, he never experienced before. The delightful smell lingered out from a nearby bakery door. BOOKS BY AGE GROUP.
