Overview

"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."

Though pirates don't change diapers. They don't even change socks! a crew of eye-patched, hook-handed knaves faces the challenge of diverting an unhappy toddler in this hilariously helter-skelter follow-up to How I Became A Pirate (2003). Showing up on the doorstep of young swabbie Jeremy Jacob to reclaim the treasure they had buried in his backyard in the previous episode, Captain Braid Beard and his scurvy tars first have to calm the fussing of little Bonney Anne - though that involves learning how to change a diaper, spooning out strained spinach ( Shiver me timbers! What be this vile-smelling swill? ) and rocking the tyke to sleep. Shannon pulls out all the stops, packing each crowded scene with frantic plug-uglies in gloriously detailed pirate garb, surrounding a deceptively cute urchin who's in charge from first moment to last. Like Colin McNaughton's similarly themed Captain Abdul's Little Treasure (2006), this will engender rousing cheers from mateys of every stripe. (Picture book. 6-8) (Kirkus Reviews)
