PRODUCT SUMMARY:
HOW I BECAME A PIRATE: What child doesn't daydream of being a pirate? Of sailing the Seven Seas, having swash-buckling adventures with the mates and searching for buried treasure? In Melinda Long's fanciful new book How I Became a Pirate, little readers get a glimpse of what it would be like to do all those things and more.

While building a sandcastle at the beach, our hero, young Jeremy Jacob, spies a pirate ship sailing into view. "I knew it was, because its flag had a skull and crossbones on it," Jeremy says. When the pirates come ashore, they notice Jeremy's keen digging abilities (his castle moat was very well made) and draft him to be part of their crew.

Although the pirates are a rowdy, rough-looking bunch (they have green teeth), Jeremy has the time of his life. "Pirates don't do anything they don't want to," he observes, "except for maybe swabbing the decks."

But when darkness falls and Jeremy is ready to go to sleep, he realizes that pirates really don't do things they don't want to, like tuck a little boy into bed, read him a goodnight story or comfort him during a storm....
PIRATES DON'T CHANGE DIAPERS: When the pirate crew turns up at Jeremy Jacob's house and accidentally wakes his baby sister, that wee scallywag howls louder than a storm on the high seas. Sure, there's buried treasure to be found, but nobody's digging up anything until Bonney Anne quits her caterwauling. So, quicker than you can say "scurvy dog," Braid Beard and his swashbuckling pirates become . . . babysitters? Blimey!

This hilarious companion to How I Became a Pirate reveals that minding the nursery can be even more terrifying than walking the plank--especially if you're a pirate.
