Bingo & Dingo! A Fun Fun Trip On A Pirate Ship by Michael J. Armstrong, Jr. is a children’s book that takes young readers on an imaginative adventure with Bingo and his loyal dog, Dingo. The story begins as Bingo goes to bed. With Dingo by his side, he drifts into a dream world where they become buccaneers aboard a pirate ship. Armstrong uses a playful tone to engage children in an exciting adventure. Direct language, such as “Ahoy, mateys!” and “Are you ready for a voyage? Just give me a shout,” adds an interactive element that sparks a child’s imagination and invites them to participate in the story.
As the narrative unfolds, Bingo and Dingo explore the wonders of the sea, discovering treasures both above and below the water. The story’s underlying message—that the greatest treasure is oneself—conveys a valuable lesson emphasizing self-love and the importance of inner joy. The book also encourages children to use their hearts and imaginations to find happiness and love, reinforcing that adventure can be found everywhere, even within oneself. The repetitive affirmations throughout the book, such as “The greatest treasure is you,” aim to boost self-esteem. Bingo & Dingo! A Fun Fun Trip On A Pirate Ship is an enchanting read that combines fun, adventure, and heartfelt lessons. Given the popularity of pirates, children will enjoy the story as they journey with Bingo and Dingo across the high seas of their imaginations. The engaging narrative and positive messages recommend it for any young reader’s library.
