Ha-haarrrr! Tempests toss, the world turns summore and once again \u2018tis time to Internationally Talk Like a Pirate! <\/em><\/p>\n

Happily, it\u2019s never too soon to begin practicing your piracy, and with that in mind here\u2019s a pretty sharp kids\u2019 picture book by certain someones with a lot of not-so-deeply buried treasures to their names getting in on the game, and producing a pretty and potent primer – if not route map – to a venerable profession and therapeutic briny waves…<\/p>\n

Delivered as a flotilla of pictorial spreads peppered with blocks of rhyming text, this is the story of that night when Mum and Dad caught dinner and a show and hired ship\u2019s cook Long John McRon<\/em> to watch and feed their kids…
\n\"\"
\nBefore long the house was packed with pirates and before much longer, both brother and sister were acutely aware that if you ate pirate stew, strange things began to happen…<\/p>\n

Equally prolific and far-ranging, both Gaiman and illustrator, author, political cartoonist and former UK Children\u2019s Laureate Riddell have done way more stuff than I have time to cite, and it\u2019s all top quality too, so after scoping it all out you should circle back to this wild ride: one guaranteed to deliver all the thrills and frills any adventure-starved tyke or tyro might expect.<\/p>\n

Go on, get stuck in and heave ho ho, me hearties…
