Note: Device not to scale.
A hilarious rhyming read-aloud tale of pirate babysitters and the mayhem they bring, by Newbery-winning master storyteller Neil Gaiman.
Meet LONG JOHN McRON, SHIP'S COOK . . . and the most unusual babysitter you've ever seen.
Long John has a whole crew of wild pirates in tow, and—for one boy and his sister—he's about to transform a perfectly ordinary evening into a riotous adventure beneath a pirate moon. It's time to make some PIRATE STEW.
Pirate Stew! Pirate Stew!
Pirate Stew for me and you!
Pirate Stew, Pirate Stew
Eat it and you won’t be blue
You can be a pirate too!
Marvelously silly and gloriously entertaining, this tale of pirates, flying ships, doughnut feasts, and some rather magical stew is perfect for all pirates, both young and old. With a deliciously rhyming text from illustrious and innovative writer and Newbery Medalist Neil Gaiman, and detailed, humorous illustrations by the supremely talented Chris Riddell, three-time winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, this is a must-have picture book! Joyful, quirky, and action-packed, it makes a spectacular and magical gift.
