Description - Ben and the Buccaneers by Udo Weigelt
Ben, the little sparrow, longs to join the Buccaneers, a band of swashbuckling (daredevil?) sparrows. The Buccaneer captain laughs at the idea. "Only the strongest, bravest and cleverest sparrows can be Buccaneers," he says. But Ben will do anything to be in the gang. His chance comes to show how brave he really is, when the cat offers to help. Will her plan win Ben a place in the Buccaneers or is it just a dastardly plot? This story is witty, bright and breezy, without trivialising the problem of needing to belong, and Gukova's illustrations skilfully support the narrative.
