Pirate Pete's third adventure finds Pete and his parrot interviewing potential buccaneers for crew positions aboard his ship. The candidates look like pirates, but speak perfectly correct English, violating Pete's most important requirement for the job. The joke gets old, but the text is great for reading aloud, and bold full-page oil illustrations will delight all manner of pirate lovers.
