Summary

"But Captain, what's this on our plates?
We don't want this for tea!
Sausages aren't pirate food.
You don't eat those at sea!"

Captain Cutlass's crew don't want to eat their tea so he has to convince them that sausages, carrots, peas and mash will help make them rough tough, noisy pirates.

With delightful rhyming text and humorous illustrations, Teatime for Pirates! will help make sure every little pirate eats their tea!
