I'd like to thank the lovely people at Riot Communications who came up with a review copy when all else had failed.
For more pirates , we can recommend [[The Three Little Pirates by Georgie Adams and Emily Bolam]] for the youngest wannabe bucaneersbuccaneers, [[The Monkey Pirates by Mark Skelton and Ben Redlich]] or [[The Pirates' Treasure (Tumtum and Nutmeg) by Emily Bearn]] for the emerging reader, or the ultimate pirate picture book - [[An A to Z of Pirates by Caroline Stills and Heath McKenzie]].
