Pirate Pete's Giant Adventure

Ahoy, mateys! Pirate Pete and his trusty parrot are back for a rollicking good time on the high seas.

"Yo-ho-ho! I wish I had a ship,
To sail to islands yonder,
I’d do anything for this wish,
Who could grant it, I wonder?"

What’s a pirate without his trusty ship? A sea-fairy promises Pete a ship of his own if he can return the Sea-Fairy Sapphire to the sea. The only problem is that the sapphire is on Thunder Island— and it isn’t alone!

Pete must face danger, intrigue, and a particularly unfriendly nemesis as he tricks and sings his way to safety, with a yo-ho-ho and an avast ye and a few scurvy dogs. Readers will love to see their favorite pirate back in action and still in rare form.

“The silly adventure, the appealing text’s frequent rhymes, the repetitive songs, and Pete’s salty-dog dialogue make this a natural for reading aloud, and the dramatic, brilliant paintings focus on the expressive characters and will show well to a crowd. Lots of fun for pint-sized buccaneers.” -Booklist
