On a Pirate Ship

On a Pirate Ship by Sarah Courtauld, illustrated by Benji Davies
 
Climb aboard with a jolly captain and his not-so-scary crew as they set sail across the high seas in search of treasure. Pirate life brings rolling waves, a swirling storm, a lively sea shanty and plenty of excitement before the crew can count their twinkling haul.
 
Sarah Courtauld’s short rhyming text keeps the voyage moving, while Benji Davies’s colourful full-page illustrations fill the ship and sea with action, expression and details to spot. Children can join in with pirate voices, anticipate what comes next and follow the adventure through the pictures.
 
Warm, energetic and reassuring, On a Pirate Ship offers the fun of a swashbuckling voyage without an intimidating band of villains. It is an inviting shared read for young pirate fans and a manageable picture book for children beginning to read complete stories independently.
