Ben and the Buccaneers

(4) K-3 Translated by Rosemary Lanning. Illustrated by Julia Gukova. When sparrow Ben joins forces with the barn cat to try to impress a group of daredevil sparrows, he unwittingly helps the cat capture all of the Buccaneers. Now it's up to Ben to figure out a plan to help the Buccaneers escape. While the text is on the bland side, Gukova's soft-focus illustrations will amuse readers, particularly with the cat's comical facial expressions.
