Description
Jim Lad's guide for pirates wishing to step ashore at Dull-on-Sea. World Book Day 2015
Quick Summary
Packed with silly misunderstandings, this hilarious guide lets kids see everyday life through a pirate's comically confused eyes. Young readers will giggle at ridiculous "advice" like how to eat soup without a sword or shop for groceries without shouting "shiver me timbers" at the checkout. If your kid loves the humor in "Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000" or "Dog Man," they'll adore this tongue-in-cheek pirate manual. Ideal for kindergarten through third graders, especially those who giggle at silly illustrated books.
