When Braid Beard&&&^s pirate crew invites Jeremy Jacob to join their voyage, he jumps right on board. Buried treasure, sea chanteys, pirate talk--who wouldn&&&^t go along? Soon Jeremy Jacob knows all about being a pirate. He throws his food across the table and his manners to the wind. He hollers like thunder and laughs off bedtime. It&&&^s the heave-ho, blow-the-man-down, very best time of his life. Until he finds out what pirates don&&&^t do--no reading bedtime stories, no tucking kids in. . . . Maybe being a pirate isn&&&^t so great after all.
Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator David Shannon teams up with witty storyteller Melinda Long for a hilarious look at the finer points of pirate life.
