Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Review:"Long's dry, tongue-in-cheek humor serves as an ideal springboard for Shannon's gleefully madcap illustrations." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Review:"A roaring good read." Teaching K-8 Review:"Shannon's illustrations...are a page-turning glory. Long's clever and spirited text leaves other pirate books in the bilge."
