Illustrated by
Jim Harris.
Swashbucklers, scallywags, and even a few sea serpents fill the pages of this collection of appealing doggerel. Perfect for dramatic readings, the poems are full of rollicking rhyme and alliteration. A comic cast of patch-eyed, bulbous-nosed pirates swagger and bumble their way through illustrations exaggerated to great humorous effect. Readers will be happy to set sail with these silly seafarers.
