From the author of No, David! this story also centers around a young boy prone to finding trouble. He knows pirates because he spent time with some jolly pirate fellows one day at the beach. Luckily, he was back in time for soccer practice. The illustrations are uproariously funny! ~Sara
Publisher's Description of How I Became a Pirate
When Jeremy Jacob sets off on a pirate adventure, he loves doing everything the pirates do . . . but then he finds out what they DON'T do. Pirates have green teeth - when they have any teeth at all.
"I know about pirates, because one day, when I was at the beach building a sand castle and minding my own business, a pirate ship sailed into view." So proclaims Jeremy Jacob, a boy who joins Captain Braid Beard and his crew in this witty look at the finer points of pirate life by the Caldecott Honor winning illustrator David Shannon and the storyteller Melinda Long. Jeremy learns how to say "scurvy dog," sing sea chanteys, and throw food . . . but he also learns that there are no books or good night kisses on board: "Pirates don't tuck." A swashbuckling adventure with fantastically silly, richly textured illustrations that suit the story to a T.
