See below for English description.
J?r?mie Jacob s'embarque sur un bateau avec une bande de pirates rustauds. La vie ? bord est tr's amusante parce les pirates font tout ce qu'ils veulent, quand ils le veulent. Pas de r?gles, se dit J?r?mie Jacob... et pas d'histoires avant le dodo, personne pour me border... En v?rit?, la vie de pirate, ce n'est pas si dr?le!
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.
