Pop is too old to be a pirate captain, so he needs to find a new job, but he keeps getting things wrong! Can he find the right job?

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a quick, silly read for early readers, Pop's got you covered. This little story follows an old pirate who trades in his captain hat for something new only every job he tries goes hilariously wrong in ways kids find absolutely delightful. The humor is gentle and the print is big with short sentences, making it perfect for kids just starting to read on their own or for a cozy bedtime story together. Fans of silly characters and anyone who's ever dreamed of life on the high seas will get a kick out of watching Pop stumble through one job after another. Parents will appreciate that it's lighthearted without being preachy, and the ending has a sweet little twist that makes the whole thing feel complete. If your kid loves funny picture books, they'd probably also enjoy "The Day the Crayons Quit" for more silly fun.
