Author & Illustrators
We got on board for a pirate adventure on the high-seas and enjoyed the bold and colourful illustrations that accompany this re-telling of a classic rhyme. We particularly enjoyed the landscape-to-portrait page turns when reading aloud, which conjured up a feeling of sea-sickness and added to the larger than life storytelling ambiance.
The super-catchy, repeated lines make for great predictive reading aloud with younger children, who will want to hear it again and again.
