Review
'The rhyming story is sung to a catchy tune, with lively instrumental accompaniment. The jollity and verve with which this is done gives a new meaning to the adjective 'page turner', and I was sorry when it ended. Happily the song and chorus are repeated, giving the reader a chance to sing and read along, and to relive each event. What a great way to get children's interest!' (This review refers to the edition with CD - ISBN: 9781846861536) --The School Librarian
'From the moment this book is plucked from the shelf and the CD starts playing you ll be 'Ah Harrrr'-ing me hearties all the way. It is a fun, energy packed, colourful, romp across the seven seas. The weaving of the story with the catchy, toe-tapping song (enthusiastically sung by Mark Collins) is clever and the pictures are just wonderful.'

A great kids book that should be much better known. If you only buy one pirate book this year, make sure this is the one!
But buy it at your peril! Because we've had it in the CD player of the car for the past 3-months and my daughter insists on the same version of the song, day after day... My brother accidently 'lost' his CD faced with similar popularity.
That aside the book is great fun, 2-year old joins in the songs, the actions "port side, starboard, forwards, backwards..." and loves it

This book is excellent for use with children 4 years plus. The children at my pre-school loved taking part with the actions and loved the music on the cd. Would highly recommend

This is a lovely book with good clear illustrations. The song is simple and the CD evocative of pirates and life aboard ship. (a bit Captain Pugwash!) I read it to a group of 8yr olds who loved it, and would recommend it for anyone younger.

Pirates Ahoy!
The CD accompanying this book really brings it to life - the story cries out to be sung! It has audio and video animations of the story, which flows along in rollicking fashion. Read more

Catchy music and a beautifully illustrated book - what's not to like?
My little pirate fan (who is just turned 3) got this for his birthday and loves it. I don't think the CD has left his CD player yet, in nearly a month - it's surprisingly catchy... Read more

Great Fun!
The illustrations and the song are great, little disappointed with the number of tracks on the CD (4), especially as the first is just an intro and the last is a very short sign... Read more

Dull pirates who are excessively repetitive!
Well sad to say I was disappointed with this purchase. The story is just too repetitive without enough story in between the dull chorus to make things interesting. Read more

This is an excellent book for young children, great catchy tune and the pictures create verbal interaction with the children. Colourful and a book that is asked for continually.
