”We are pirates, pirates, ho!” Swashbuckling pirates sail the seas, braving storms, battles—and other pirates! From the first mate down to the cabin boy, they are rascals through and through. But at night, by the light of the moon, they tell each other ghost stories…and guess who ends up being scared? Stephen Gilpin’s hand-drawn and digitally colored artwork is a bold, perfect match with Sarah L. Thomson’s rollicking, rhyming text.

“Gilpin’s wacky cartoons have a retro, take-no-prisoners abandon. The motley crew members run up riggings, make enemies walk the plank, drive their ship through perilous seas, and have a generally threatening appearance until one takes a closer look at their faces and postures, which are just plain adorable. Although pirate books abound, this funny, fabulously illustrated rhyme is certainly worth adding.” —School Library Journal
