A band of friendly-looking animal pirates searches for gold in this gently swashbuckling book. Rhyming couplets filled with pirate jargon accompany plainly composed, rich-hued images depicting the animals' daring sea exploits. After braving a pod of "wicked whales" and tickling a giant squid, the adorable crew flees a fearsome mouse: an appropriately silly ending for an adventure heavy on toddler-friendly thrills.
