Did you know that some pirates are big and strong while others are thin and cunning? Pirates can come in many different shapes and sizes, but all are very, very wicked! This amusingly twisted guide tells you just what you need to be a pirate: an eye patch, a hook, a handkerchief, and an earring. Pirates look for treasure, steal ships, and need to know how to walk a plank. There's so much more to say about pirates (not the least of which is that they like to drink lots of grog and then sing pirate songs). Children will devour the information in this book. It is funny and entertaining, amusingly twisted, and will appeal to the insatiable interest in the wicked world of pirates.
