Publisher's Synopsis
An absurdly humorous rhyming picture book that takes a fun, swashbuckingly playful twist on pirates, cleanliness and learning to embrace the awkwardness (and awesomeness) of being new!
Life is messy fun for pirate captain Selene and her crew; however, after a surprise attack from a rival pirate, she realizes that clean is better than messy.
"Why do I have to clean my room?" is a popular refrain of children everywhere. THE MESSY PIRATES answers this question through warm and imaginative storytelling. Each short, lyrical verse invites children into a world of swashbuckling pirates where cleanliness is playfully associated with strength, bravery and victory!
Pirates, ships, cannons, sea-faring songs and loot - not a favorite pirate theme is left out! Whimsical
word-pictures bring the story to life as children discover, line by line, which pirate ship will win the battle!
