What little boy would not love a pirate adventure – and little Jeremy Jacob sees an adventure of a lifetime when a pirate ship shows up on North Beach just as he is building a sandcastle.
With his parents distracted, Jeremy takes off with Braid Beard and his posse of pirates. He learns sea chanteys and uses words like landlubber and scurvy dog. Even though a life at sea sounds fun, big storms are scary and when you do not have your mommy to tuck you in at night, the fun ebbs very quickly.
With a treasure to bury, Jeremy comes up with an idea – he knows the perfect place to hide the treasure and with luck, he will be able to make his soccer game the next day.
Little boys will love the adventure and illustrations in this book. Melinda Long and David Shannon have put together an exciting tale that will fill the imaginations of their young readers.
Note: Take notice that the little boy does wander off with strangers - so you may want to either discuss this ahead of time with your child or completely skip this book until your child is old enough to understand that this is only a make believe story and that real children should never do this.
