by Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell
When Mom and Dad go out for the night, the babysitters who show up aren’t like any babysitters you’ve ever seen. It’s an entire grizzled pirate crew!
And they know just what to serve for dinner: PIRATE STEW! The saltiest, scurviest, slurpiest stew you’ve ever had.
Once the scrumptious stew is down their gullets and the Jolly Roger is flying, they’re off on a rollicking adventure all about the town in search of dessert.
But careful—with one taste, you might just turn into a pirate too. . . .
A hilarious rhyming read-aloud tale of pirate babysitters and the mayhem they bring, by Newbery Medal–winning master storyteller Neil Gaiman.
