Are you the Pirate Captain?

First mate Hugh has got the whole crew and the pirate ship ready, but they can't set sail until they find a captain! Come on this salty adventure as Hugh and his scurvy seadogs try to find the perfect pirate for the job. Rather than a peg leg or a hook, it turns out what their captain needs is the brains to lead.

Reviews

  • "Parsons’ jaunty, full-color acrylic illustrations provide lots of fun and cartoonish detail, and they are a clever companion to Jones’ rhyming, sea-shanty-like verses."

    Booklist

  • "The text bounces along in rhyme, swishing readers along to a satisfying end. It just begs to be read aloud!"

    Books for Keeps

  • "Revel in the rhythm and rhyme of this colourful tale."

    Early Years Educator

  • "A jaunty pirating mystery"

    Fiona Noble, The Bookseller

  • "With its jaunty rhyming telling and gigglesome visuals, this swashbuckling tale, complete with sea shanty is likely to appeal to would-be young sea dogs especially those who enjoy a book where things are not quite as they seem."
